Harry Connick Jr. Opens Up on His Childhood, Faith and Writing A New Album During Lockdown in Guideposts Magazine Cover Story

DANBURY, Conn., July 29, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- In the August/September issue of Guideposts magazine, available today, Harry Connick Jr. opens up about growing up in New Orleans, choosing to be baptized in the Catholic church in his teens after his mother passed away from ovarian cancer and how he channeled grief over losing 14 people during the pandemic into his new album, Alone with My Faith.

"If I had to reduce this past year to one thing, one lesson, it would be that. Faith," says Connick in the cover story. "Because in the solitude of the lockdown, in the isolation from the people and even the city and the rituals I love, it was all I had to hang on to, note by note, chord by chord."
