The Swell Season
8:00 PM The Wilma
Description:
With The Swell Season Glen Hansard, front man for The Frames, has teamed up with classically trained Czech vocalist and pianist, Marketa Irglova to produce an album of affecting songs and compositions. The record side steps many of the conventional strategies offered on Frames records and is most akin to Glen's solo shows or their 2001 release, for the Birds. From straight songs to piano instrumentals, The Swell Season affords an insight into a whole other side of Glen/The Frames, as well as offering a perfect introduction to this very talented newcomer in Marketa.
Both Glen and Marketa appeared in the film Once. The film received high praise including The Critics’ Choice Award for Best Song “Falling Slowly”, two Grammy nominations for Best Compilation Soundtrack and Best Song for a Motion Picture, and a nomination for the 2008 Film Independents Spirit Awards. Most recently, Glen and Marketa won an Oscar award for Best Original Song “Falling Slowly” at the 80th Annual Academy Awards held on Sunday, February 24, 2008.
Tickets available at all GrizTix outlets including the Source in the UC, the Adams Center Box Office, Worden’s Market, Southgate Mall, toll free 888-MONTANA, and online at www.griztix.com
