"Don't Be Alarmed" about Birds and Arrows
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 completely self funded artists for most of that time but are finding it harder and harder to continue in the light of AI and gas prices for touring and all programs being gutted for the arts. So we're turning to you our loyal Birds and Arrows fans to pre-order our record "Don't Be Alarmed" and merch so we can get it made.
This new album of songs feels like a hybrid of old Birds and Arrows (the folk rock North Carolina days) with the new (apocalyptic rock, power ballad, desert rat current Tucson version) of B&A.
We’ve developed confidence and ease as writing partners and collaborators after so many years of honing it together and these are some of our favorite songs we’ve ever written.
Birds and Arrows isn’t your typical rock band—they’re songwriters first, crafting emotionally charged songs rooted in a classic, groove-driven sound reminiscent of The Faces, but with a powerful female voice at the center. Sweeping melodies, rich three-part harmonies, and the unmistakable pulse of Pete Connolly’s drumming define their dynamic style. At the core are Andrea and Pete Connolly, an art-rock duo based in Tucson, AZ, who first built their reputation in North Carolina’s Triangle music scene, sharing stages and included on compilations alongside bands and band members of Big Star, Wilco, Whiskeytown, Ben Folds Five, R.E.M, The Mountain Goats and The dB's to name a few.
Voted “Best Rock Band” in Tucson by Tucson Weekly readers four years running, Birds and Arrows deliver a deeper sound that feels far bigger than its duo origins—moving effortlessly from intimate, introspective ballads to explosive, groove-heavy jams. Their music is contemplative, slightly psychedelic, and as expansive as the desert they call home.
