Funky Groovy Acoustic/Electric Folk Souljazz Blues R&B Newgrass Music
I am a working musician living in Brooklyn, NY and fortunate enough to make a living singing, playing the banjo and guitar. Tostitos new advertisement aired during the Fiesta Bowl, and features my banjo playing as the only musical accompaniment to this nutty 'North Country' TV add. Two wacky Quaker Oats Chewey Bar TV ads have my banjo playing on them and are running this summer. I love all styles of music.
"There are several musicians that play more than one instrument, and quite a few who are also fine vocalists, but Tuey Connell, whos trio appears tonight at the Bluebird Cafe, is truly unique among singers and players." -The City Paper, Nashville.
My stellar NYC band is a well-oiled grooving machine with which we explore the sound of well...sonic vibrations in our own mixed up style. Songs and songwriting are as important to me as ensemble playing and improvisation.
Over the years, I have been able to perform and/or record with some amazing musicians including: Taj Mahal, Arturo Sandoval, Vassar Clements, Robbie Fulks, Livingston Taylor, Alvin Youngblood Hart, Don Stiernberg, Slavek Hanzlik and others as well as play radio and TV jingles. Sometimes, I hold and make additional noise with a lap steel or chromatic harmonica - harmonica being particularly noisy in my amateur hands (but... it is my geeky hobby).
A Few Personal Highlights:
Composition Fellowship Award from the Illinois Art Council Austin City Limits with Robbie Fulks JF Kennedy Center packed house/standing ovation w/ 'Gil & Tuey' Touring w/ the late great Vassar Clements Recording with Taj Mahal Minneapolis Winter Jazz Festival - Orchestra Hall w/ Dianne Reeves
Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you out at a show sometime soon.
Peace,
Tuey

Tuey, I get really lazy when it comes to computer time. When I get going on it I have to stop by for a listen. When you get a chance stop by, I'd love to her from you. Till then keep doin' what you do so well. Best to you, Kevin McKay
Tuey all your tunes sound great. I hope everyone out here in myspace land gets to hear you live. Scary! Looking forward to hearing ( and if I can get it together playing with ) you again.

Rollin' through the neighborhood, had

and they get better the more I listen.
Keep in touch.

P.S. I posted a couple of new tunes.
One cover, one original.
