Born and raised just outside of Springfield, Illinois, Brian Connelly grew a passion for music at a very young age. By the time he was five he was playing piano, and by seven he had picked up the guitar and was playing in his local church. In the fall of 2018 Brian moved to Franklin, Tennessee where he currently leads worship, works as a session player and producer, and travels as a touring guitarist for Francesca Battistelli and Matthew West. Brian released his debut album The Best Is Yet To Come on June 28, 2024. Four of these songs made it on Christian Radio, including Everything With Breath, Hallelujah In Everything, Faithful, and Rest In You, all reaching #1 on God’s Music Today.
