Rocking the Hard Rock in New York City on April 18!

Connor Bracken And The Mother Leeds band are in the midst of unleashing a creative barrage that includes new songs, music videos, and live performances.  Following the release of their latest full-length album "Nightbird Motel," the group has been hard at work on their next album.   Instead of putting it all out at once, they are taking their time and regularly releasing killer singles.  Tracks like "Root," Lies," and "Shine As One" have made their way to all streaming platforms.  The Mother Leeds Band has always boasted a bewitching and bombastic Rock N' Roll sound.  While the new tunes carry on that tradition, there is a marked evolution in their sound.  It's more polished, catchier, and overall more accessible.  It leads one to surmise the latest incarnation of the band to be the best yet.

In addition to releasing new singles, the band has also been cranking out plenty of visual material on their YouTube Channel.  Last year the group performed at the Baronet on the rooftop of the Asbury Hotel.  It was taped and yielded great results.  Speaking of the session, Connor Bracken said:

“I loved playing up there!  After playing in Asbury for some time we are now always looking to raise the bar for our hometown shows.  The Asbury Rooftop gave us access to a location that isn’t like anything else in Asbury.  We had very odd weather that day and it felt kind of otherworldly up there.  Thank you to the entire Asbury/Lanes crew for making that happen!”

The band already posted a video for "When The World Stops Turning."  Keep an eye out for "Root" coming soon!

Connor Bracken And The Mother Leeds Band have also been keeping busy within the live performance realm.  They rocked Philly over the weekend and will be in action in Boston on April 12.  April 18 they will perform at the Hard Rock in Times Square, NYC.  Expect 2 hours-long sets with an intermission.  Admission is free!
