On Sunday night, The Swell Season performed to a sold out crowd at Allen Theatre in Cleveland. Coming from their Academy Award win for Best Original Song, their performance was absolutely beautiful and emotional. It was by far, one of the most memorable shows I've gone to.
In between the storytelling and jokes, Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová along with their band made up of Joe Doyle (bass), Colm Mac Con Iomaire (violin), Rob Bochnik (guitar), and Johnny Boyle (drums), performed songs from Once and songs on the The Swell Season and The Frames albums.
It was a fantastic performance, Hansard is a pure talent, his vocals are filled with raw power and a relentless vulnerability.
It's nice to see the thier fanbase steadily growing. I look forward to discovering more of thier music, and I may even be seeing them perform in Chicago in mid-June (I hope)
