Connor recently conducted his recording session which was captured by Inside Blackbird’s production crew. You can see for yourself how the song evolves from the original arrangement into a new multitrack recording with friends Matt Nolan, Kevin Nolan, and Grace Albritton layering instrumentation and vocals under the guidance of Blackbird’s Owner John McBride.
