“Falling Slowly” was perhaps the most sigh-inducing song in the cult indie-film Once, which swept away audiences
and critics alike in 2007 with its charming story about a romance between two passionate musicians. But the music in that
out-of-left-field hit has been enjoyed since 2006 by fans of The Swell Season, aka Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova.
Hansard and Irglova come from Irish and Czech backgrounds respectively. Hansard is probably best known as the founder
and voice of the Frames, an Irish indie pop band known for its songwriting and emotion-filled lyrics. Hansard met Irglova
during a tour of the Czech Republic, and they’ve collaborated for many years after that.
Softness and quiet is omnipresent in the sweet, tender music of The Swell Season. Fans of the singer-songwriter genre
will love this beautiful take on chamber pop. The Swell Season tickets can be bought and sold here at Stubhub. Make sure
you get your concert tickets now, because they’re sure to sell fast considering the popularity of this band’s
stunning music.
