"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

Jon Hughes is an American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Ireland since 2005. His music sits somewhere between the rootsy intimacy of early Wilco, the off-kilter energy of Pavement, and the deadpan literary weight of Bill Callahan — atmospheric, wry, and resistant to easy categorisation.
The songs move between jangly guitars, Wurlitzer and Rhodes and quieter territory of lap steel, strings and acoustic guitar, held together by lyrics that favour mood and implication over direct narrative. Built quietly across two decades, it is music that rewards repeated listening.
He has shared a stage with Damien Jurado, She Keeps Bees, and Buddy Mondlock.
