Live Music: Connor Kelly

Sunset on Central in Knoxville, TN

By Kristen Roberts

Connor Kelly took the stage late Saturday night in Knoxville, Tennessee. He closed Sunset on Central, a local music festival, with a bang. Schulz Bräu, where Kelly was playing, was absolutely packed. People were pouring out the side of the building. A small pit quickly formed in front of the stage. The exuberant crowd was almost as fun to watch as Connor himself. Through his own songs and even a cover of “Drive My Car” by the Beatles, Connor Kelly had the people of Central Avenue jamming into the night. Even though Kelly went over his designated set time, no one really cared since everyone, including the event runners, was swaying to Connor Kelly’s funking tunes.
