There's a moment in every Low Darts performance where the age of the musicians stops mattering entirely. One second you're watching five young guys; the next, you're back in 1978, and the music has you.
Low Darts are a five-piece "studio rock & soul" band who first met in middle school jazz band — and who emerged from a pandemic basement project in 2020 with a mission: to reconstruct the greatest rock and soul records of the '70s and '80s exactly as they were made. Not just the songs. The recordings — the grooves, the harmonies, the exact instrumental parts, including some the original artists never attempted live.
Their repertoire spans over 150 songs from the architects of studio rock and soul: Steely Dan, Billy Joel, Toto, Supertramp, Earth Wind & Fire, Stevie Wonder, Kansas, Bill Withers, Chicago, and more. Musical director Colman Connolly (keys, guitar, vocals) produces and mixes all recordings out of his own studio alongside bandmates Sebastian Rodriguez (keys, vocals), Jonas Brown (guitar), Luke Foote (bass, vocals), and Sean Byington (drums, vocals).
The result has earned them worldwide recognition — over 7.5 million YouTube views, a following of 52,000+ subscribers, and praise from fans across the globe who describe hearing their youth played back to them by a generation that wasn't even born yet. They've shared a stage with legends including José Feliciano, and perform for private events, corporate functions, and festivals nationwide.
Colman Connolly​ is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer from Murfreesboro, TN, and a Buchanan Fellow studying Audio Production and Data Science at MTSU. Hailing from a celebrated family of American and Irish folk musicians — including All-Ireland champions Damien, Martin, and Séamus Connolly — he earned his own All-Ireland title in 2021. Colman has recorded with, engineered, and performed alongside leading artists including Josie James, Dylan Foley, Language of Birds, Riverdance fiddler Haley Richardson, and accordionist Diarmuid O'Meachair, and was honored to represent MTSU's College of Media & Entertainment during GRAMMY Week 2026. When he's not leading and producing for the Low Darts, he can be found playing with Beach Boys tribute acts Pet Sounds Live and Good Vibrations — a natural extension of his deep love for classic studio craft and timeless pop.​​
