Press Release

“Si Connelly has one of the very best male voices in the UK right now.”

— Steve Best, Music Republic Magazine

For the past decade, Si Connelly has been quietly building one of the most remarkable catalogues in

British independent music. Blending intimate singer-songwriter storytelling with indie, folk and Americana influences, his songs are rooted in honesty, delivered with a voice that has earned praise from critics, broadcasters and fellow musicians alike.

He wrote his debut album, Youth, War & Joy, while living out of his car. Ten years later, he’s still doing what he’s always done—writing songs with honesty, touring relentlessly and releasing music at a pace few independent artists can match.

Since emerging in 2016, Connelly has quietly built one of British independent music’s most impressive catalogues. Following early recording and publishing deals with Sony/RCA and EMI, he chose to steer his own course, embracing complete creative independence while earning a reputation as a songwriter who never seems to stop writing.

That work ethic has become part of his identity. Twelve monthly EPs in 2022 were followed by three studio albums in 2023, the acclaimed live album Less of Me Left in 2025 and this year’s deeply personal Loneliness in the Making. Two further albums—Wedding Singer and Change—are already completed and scheduled for release later in 2026, extending a body of work that continues to grow at a remarkable pace.

If the records tell one side of the story, the live shows tell the other. Over the past decade, Si has become a familiar face on stages across the UK, Europe and the United States, touring tirelessly and sharing bills with Ocean Colour Scene, Starsailor, KT Tunstall, Dexys, Bob Mould, Space and Boyzlife.

Every tour has been another chance to build an audience the old-fashioned way—one room at a time.

His music has never gone unnoticed. Produced early on by Chris Potter and Dom Morley, his songs have reached BBC Radio 2, BBC 6 Music, BBC Introducing, Amazing Radio, Kerrang! Radio and BBC One’s The One Show. The single Hurt You featured in ITV’s Monroe, reached the UK iTunes Top 20 and even attracted praise from Coldplay for his vocal performance.

Away from his own records, Connelly has written for artists including Stevie McCrorie, Guvna B and Vince Freeman, collaborated with Annie Lennox, Boyzone and Westlife, and composed extensively for television and film—proof that his songwriting reaches far beyond his own catalogue.

Autumn 2026 marks another milestone. A new UK tour culminates on 10 November with Si’s biggest headline show to date at Camden’s Barfly, celebrating ten years since the release of Youth, War & Joy. It’s less a look back than a celebration of everything that’s come since—and everything still to come.

A decade of relentless touring. A catalogue that’s still growing.
