The roots website Americana Highways have today premiered Ags’s new single ‘Headed South For A While’!
They say: “Ags Connolly’s vocals contain an indelibly gritty wisdom that brings comfort to your jittery heart, and the way accordion is played adds a Western tinge to the production.”

Yes folks, today Ags is launching a Kickstarter campaign for his next album, ‘Siempre’. As you may know, Kickstarter is a crowdfunding platform that raises money for projects through ‘backers’ who essentially buy a piece of work (in this case, the album) in advance, among other exclusive rewards, to support the process of it being made.
This album will be a further exploration of the ‘border’-style rhythms that have gradually crept into Ags’ albums and he is excited about the songs that are lined up for it. However, Ags needs your help to make it a reality…
There are full details and a more thorough description of the project and how you can back it HERE.
Please take a look and consider backing the campaign. Thanks in advance for your time!
