Based in Raleigh, a breeding

bass player to help start a band.
Soon to follow were lead vocalist
Doug McMillan; drummer, Peele
Wimberley; and guitar, keyboards
and vocals, George Huntley.
Since then. The Connells have
emerged as one of the south's
favorite rock bands.
The Connells' sound is
multidimensional and full of life.
Presently they are on tour with
their newest and fourth LP, One
Simple Word. Their original
songs are known for their well
thought out and intelligent lyrics.
Some of these songs include
"Stone Cold Yesterday", "Speak to
Me", and "Waiting My Turn".
Mike and George are the primary
lyricists and composers of The
Connells' unique and powerful
guitar-driven pop, found in these
songs.
The Connell tickets are not
available yet. When available,
they may be purchased for $5 per
Elon College I.D. in advance; $10
in advance for off-campus sales;
