Lauded by New York’s Death and Taxes as “being at the head of a new breed of politically engaged eloquent singer-songwriters emerging from New York’s most populous borough”, Cork-born Connolly has crafted a highly regarded niche for himself as one of the leading lights in the New York music scene, curating a variety of music nights each week in the city that never sleeps. ‘I promise your evening will be full of good music, stories, and all around entertainment. Mr. Connolly’s music carries amazing character. Niall’s charm and way with words are prevalent in lyrics that have an amazing universal appeal. With three studio albums (and a live one) under his belt, Niall takes you through a variety of emotions and musical styles, all with abundant zeal and talent.’ American Indie ‘Niall Connolly is simply too damn good to be missed’ The Village Voice, New York
