Live Nation Presents THE SWELL SEASON Tonight, 12/2
Live Nation presents THE SWELL SEASON on Wednesday, December 2 at 7:30 PM. Tickets on sale Friday, October 23 at 10:00 AM. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.com and all Ticketmaster locations including MUTO and Macy's. To charge by phone, call 800-745-3000.
The Swell Season are Glen Hansard (from Irish band, The Frames) and Marketa Irglova (a classically trained Czech pianist and vocalist). They entered the spotlight last year with two Grammy nominations and an Oscar win for Best Original Song, "Falling Slowly." That win was for the indie film, "Once," which was a big hit here at the Michigan Theater two years ago. Hansard and Irglova also composed the score along with the original soundtrack work. They played the film's two lead characters too!
The Swell Season will release their new album 'Strict Joy' on Oct. 27. In their fall music preview, the Wall Street Journal said 'Strict Joy' "builds on the couple's earthy musical chemistry by adding layers, such as the reserved horns on "Low Rising," a slow burning soul number."
