We're Birds and Arrows, Andrea and Pete Connolly. Artists, musicians and creators who have been making music and art together for over 20 years.
We have been building and shaping a new vision for Birds and Arrows over the past couple years and these songs really reflect that. In that time things in our lives have been equal parts gnarly and beautiful. We’ve been building a network of creatives at our downtown Tucson, AZ art space, where we make art and music, Andrea teaches and mentors budding local musicians we write and record songs there…also, our space mates created a Theater collective and they mentor local actors and talent and we are presenting very cool DIY plays and events together.
This new album of songs feels like a hybrid of old Birds and Arrows (the folk rock North Carolina Days) with the new B&A. The apocalyptic rock power ballads desert rat current Tucson version.
We’ve developed confidence and ease as writing partners and collaborators after so many years of doing it and these are some of our favorite songs we’ve ever written.
We've been collaborating with three of our favorite producers in southern AZ. Gabe Sullivan at Dust and Stone, Steven Tracy at Saint Cecilia and Bob Hoag at Flying Blanket in Mesa. Recording these songs in fun creative bursts when our budget would allow.
Our new record was fully funded through our Kickstarter pre-order campaign as on June 19th 2026.
"Don't Be Alarmed" will be out in early spring of 2027 party
