#MyMusicStory by Finny Mcconnell

I wrote a whole album about healing and music healing. Our last studio album Love+Death+Redemption released on True North Records. 

My Mother was killed falling down the stage stairs at a concert venue in Toronto in 2016. She smashed her head and died in my arms braindead. She was an Irish Concert Tour promoter and she was called out of retirement (she retired 2 years earlier) to take off the 100th Anniversary of the Irish Uprising in 1916. 

I was diagnosed with Severe PTSD, went to therapy, and was put on the highest level of Prozac; which I am still on now but hope to get off this year. 

I began healing to get back to music, but I did no interviews or videos because I did not want to talk about it. 

4 years later, I am finally getting back to my normal happy self and here I am again.
