SPOT: Swell Season returns of Massey Hall
The incredible winning duo of Frames frontman Glen Hansard and Czech ingénue Marketa Irglova are returning for North American Tour. I was lucky enough to see them last year at Massey Hall, blown away by their connection and raw emotion that only Massey Hall could contain and amplify. They are returning to Massey Hall on November 3rd 8pm, so don’t miss out.
Presale tickets are avaiable TODAY only through their website (see below for details), offering great floor seats for fans. Public onsale begins Friday Sept 11.
Swell Season are adding the finishing touches on ‘StrictJoy,’ for Oct 27 release in North America), the follow-up to their beloved, surprise hit and oscar winning song from ‘Once’
From the Swell Season website:
‘Strict Joy,’ which borrows its name from a work by Irish poet James Stephens, was co-produced by Hansard and Peter Katis (The National, Interpol), and recorded mostly at Katis’ Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport, CT. In addition to Hansard and Irglova, the album features Frames members Colm Mac Iomaire (violin), Joe Doyle (bass), Rob Bochnik (guitar), Graham Hopkins (percussion) plus guitarist Javier Mas (Leonard Cohen), pianist Thomas Bartlett (Doveman), percussionist Chad Taylor (Chicago Underground Duo), horn players Steven Bernstein and Clark Gayton from Levon Helm’s band, and others.
