The Swell Season

Saw them on Friday night, and it was ah-mazing. We didn't think we'd stay too long; I came down with a nasty cold and was feeling tired and sick.

But, we could not leave. Glen Hansard was so engaging with the crowd. He'd tell us stories about each and every song they played.

Also, as you can see when he plays, he is so passionate when he sings. And, the sound was perfect. (Except for people who were talking way too loud.)

Marketa I. was just as lovely and is quite an impressive musician; their harmonies were flawless.

Also, he had some of his fellow musicians from The Frames on stage, one of which was an amazing violinist. The added strings were sooo lovely.

So happy we went.
