Glen Hansard is a gifted, emotive frontman who sings as if he must, with a heart on his sleeve that is constantly throbbing.
The New York Times
Whether he's busking the streets of Dublin, or performing at the
Hollywood Bowl, Glen Hansard is always honest and
in-the-moment.
An Oscar-winning song writer, actor, frontman for The Frames,
half of Swell Season and Tony Award-winner for musical-theatre
version of Once, Hansard is a reluctant hero of modern
folk-rock. Capable of moving his audiences to intense emotional
highs and then dragging them down to their deepest sorrows, Hansard
writes songs grounded in reality, songs that can hurt.
Hansard and band, The Frames play tunes from Hansard's new album
Rhythm and Repose. This will be a singular opportunity to
get caught up in the emotional maelstrom of Hansard's moving
music.

stomp, sliding strings, glockenspiel, flugelhorn trumpet and
euphonium, all employed in the telling of lyrical tales about the
tangles of human life.
