Ship Bottom musician Rob Connolly is quickly making a name for himself as a solo artist, both on and off Long Beach Island. Like many other artists, he has made productive use of his time in quarantine, and expects to release a brand new single, “Just to Me, From You,” on Aug. 28.

Connolly started singing at the age of 8 with the St. Francis Church children’s choir, and has sung with churches ever since. He still cantors Masses today.
