Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard is celebrated as the principal songwriter and vocalist/guitarist for the group The Frames, one of the most influential bands in Ireland. Known for his dedicated following and grounded, real-life songs, Hansard garnered a reputation as an unparalleled front man.

In 2007, he and Czech songstress Markéta Irglová took home the Academy Award for Best Original Song for "Falling Slowly" from the ONCE soundtrack. Hansard and Irglová continued the success of Once with the 2009 release Strict Joy under the namesake of The Swell Season. In 2012, Hansard released his first solo album, Rhythm and Repose, featuring favorites "Love Don't Keep Me Waiting" and "High Hope." Glen Hansard's newest release, Drive All Night, offers a four-song recording with three original tracks and a cover of Bruce Springsteen's classic song "Drive All Night" featuring Hansard's friends and fellow musicians Eddie Vedder, Jake Clemons and Joe Henry.
