TJ CONNELLY
TJ Connelly is a digital artist, music curator, and creative technologist based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. For fifteen years (2005-2021), he served as DJ and music director at Fenway Park, where his carefully curated selections became an integral part of the Red Sox experience. He joined the New England Patriots in 2013 and the Boston Bruins in 2017, and has occasionally covered Celtics games, giving him a presence across all major Boston sports franchises. What distinguishes Connelly is his thoughtful, contextual approach to music selection. Rather than relying on predictable stadium anthems, he responds to the mood and narrative of each game with intelligent choices that include subtle humor, cultural references, and thematic connections. This approach earned him recognition as one of the premier in-game DJs in professional sports. In March 2020, when sporting events were suspended, TJ founded UncertainFM as a pandemic project. What began as a single daily show has evolved into a thriving digital radio community. UncertainFM embodies his vision of freeform radio that values human curation over algorithms, featuring an eclectic mix of indie, alternative, forgotten classics, and unusual selections. Throughout his career, Connelly has emphasized the irreplaceable value of human curation in an age of algorithms. He often compares his role to that of a librarian or sommelier—someone who creates meaningful experiences through thoughtful selection. Whether scoring a World Series victory or introducing listeners to an obscure track on a weekday broadcast, his work celebrates the art of the perfect musical moment and the communities that form around shared listening experiences.
