About Audrey Connelly

Audrey Connelly is a writer living and working in Boston, MA. Music is and has always been one of the most important parts of her life. While rock & roll is her true love, Audrey's taste runs the gamut. Deep cuts, overplayed Billboard Hot 100 hits, trip hop, reggae, musical theater. It's all fair game. However, if she's being totally honest, she is not a huge fan of (most) country music, but she is (mostly) willing to give anything a listen or two.
She has previously contributed to Atwood Magazine and has brought her passion for writing and music – specifically classic and alternative rock – to Collider. 

Author Details

Audrey has a Master's degree in English from Tulane University in New Orleans, an education that fostered an appreciation for both literature and jazz (although she still prefers rock). She is an avid reader, occasional scuba diver, and amateur guitarist.
