Have you seen Once? I love the sound of an acoustic guitar and some screaming / hollering.

All That Was East Is West Of Me Now

Not many heroes of indie folk have won an Oscar or created the basis of a successful stage musical, but Glen Hansard is an artist who can wear both of those feathers in his cap. As a member of the Frames and the Swell Season, Hansard won acclaim for his literate, intelligent, and passionate songwriting and his nuanced vocals, and he's gone on to win similar accolades as a solo artist. Hansard first gained an audience for the limber but emphatic indie rock he created as a member of the Frames, then gained international fame with fellow singer and songwriter Markéta Irglová in the duo the Swell Season, whose emotionally open, primarily acoustic indie folk became the centerpiece of the award-winning independent romantic drama Once. After going out on his own with his 2012 solo debut, Rhythm and Repose, Hansard has shown a stylistic diversity as he embraced the sound of '70s singer/songwriters on 2015's Didn't He Ramble, vintage soul on 2018's Between Two Shores, and an eclectic swing between subtle folk and noisy indie rock on 2019's This Wild Willing. Glen Hansard now presents All That Was East Is West Of Me Now, his first solo album in 5 years. The album demonstrates the Oscar-winning singer-songwriter's unique ability to blend Irish folk with modern rock & the punch of his storied live shows, of which The Guardian says, "Hansard's powerful voice, whether raw with passion or tender with regret, shines above arrangements bursting with swagger.

My fav song always has been Fitzcarraldo. This clip is from Lucerna venue, 14th November 2023. 🎶

Glen Hansard is coming back with his band on 9th May 2026.

Can´t imagine better way to celebrate 20 years of being fans with @lidunka37.bsky.social next year.

@lessthanthreerec.bsky.social

Just listed: Ivory colored vinyl pressing of The Swell Season's "Forward." LP itself is new/NM, but the jacket has some significant condition issues. Price slashed as a result. #GlenHansard #MarketaIrglova #Once #Vinyl #VinylRecords #ColoredVinyl www.ebay.com/itm/39722168...

Glen Hansard from The Frames was a great interview at V Festival 2005. We talked music and more….

The Frames - Loose Lips

This was a top interview. The Frames frontman Glen Hansard was charming and funny, and in the Irish way had lots to say for himself.

I'm a bit in a folk bubble, and you don't hear me complain. So, here's another folky #CrazyCover of the Day. It's #GlenHansard, #LisaHannigan and #JohnSmith covering the classic 'The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down', originally by #TheBand (1969).

The Commitments, 1991. Brilliant Irish humor, great music. Anyone who's ever put together a band can relate to their struggles.

Didn’t He Ramble - Glen Hansard. There’s a theme here tonight. The opening song, Grace Beneath the Pines, is just stunning. Another gem LP from Mr. Hansard. A decent pressing. The album is mixed really well. #vinyl #nowspinning #vinylrecords #vinylcommunity #glenhansard #vinylsky

All That Was East Is West Of Me Now - Glen Hansard. Glen goes back to a more traditional sound here, and it’s glorious. An OG pressing from Anti. Mastered by Bob Ludwig, sounds decent. #vinyl #NowSpinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #swellseason #glenhansard #vinylsky

This Wild Willing - Glen Hansard. A terrific album from Glen. A slight change of pace in production, something more experimental from him. An original Anti label pressing. Pressing is meh. #vinyl #NowSpinning #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #swellseason #glenhansard #vinylsky
