Special guests to be announced.
"A masterclass in songwriting and performance." -John Platt, WFUV Radio, New York
"Amongst the most vibrant, poignant, and authentic indie folk artists in New York City." - No Depression
"The Patience Of Trees is remarkable. It is much like Blood On The Tracks or Plastic Ono Band in its honesty and raw emotions. Connolly has come up with his masterpiece." - AARON BADGELY, THE SPILL MAGAZINE 9/10
"There are not enough words for love in English; Niall Connolly has found a way around our pretty language’s greatest deficit. With the songs of The Patience of Trees, Connolly has written a collection that explores all the sides of what it means to feel deeply: about a lover, about a child, about old friends, and so often, about life itself. " - MATT RUPPERT, THESE SUBTLE SOUNDS
"Niall Connolly’s The Patience of Trees welcomes us into a world where hope and kindness are the bravest of things" - CASEE MARIE, IMPERFECT FIFTH
"An absolutely beautiful collection of songs... I was gobsmacked by the quality of the songwriting... accomplished composition and arrangements... 4 stars." -Arena, RTÉ Radio 1's Arts Show
"Terrific. Disarming and beautifully crafted folk-pop. Connolly is a witty storyteller and not-to-be-missed songsmith." -Chicago Tribune
"Connolly's songs are both sad and uplifting. They're real. They speak to the goodness in people, that need to do something to make the world just a little better." - Budapest Times
