New York City’s Irish Songwriter Saint Niall Connolly to Headline www.niallconnolly.com

Sound travels. Sound permeates. Sound breaks barriers and knocks down walls. Sound is all around us. Of course, you have to chose to listen. To notice it.

Sound is also the new album from Niall Connolly – an album of songs written from the perspective of a life less ordinary. The Cork songwriter who’s been a Strings & Wood friend and favorite from year 1, has spent the last seven years in New York City, breathing deeply and soaking up the myriad influences of one of the world’s greatest and most vibrant cities.

Similar to many great Irish songwriters, Connolly has always managed to convey the personal in a manner that allowed his listeners to feel included; to take something from his songs that we could call our own, while also feeling that we were sharing an insight into a life worth considering.

“Like another great Irish songsmith, Van Morrison, Niall doesn’t waste words. He has that rare ability to throw just a handful of words at you and you get you the story & imagery to access parts of your soul you didn’t know existed..Like a precious gemstone – Niall sparkles beautifully no matter what angle you look at him.

Niall’s opening Songwriter Showcase Features –

Plus a welcome home set duo by Jen Korte & Jessica DeNicola www.jenkorteandtheloss.com

+ Some would say the late night surprise band is like Creedence Clearwater meets The Brady Bunch siblings once they started drinking whiskey & have sex…either way, they will make your body move in ways you didn’t know was possible, you’ll just have to be present to see who they are.
