The Swell Season May 2, 2008

Despite the incredible wave of momentum created by their recent Oscar win, Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova come to Salt Lake with the same quiet confidence they have always posessed. The formerly obscure indie film, Once, was brought into the the biggest spotlight in the entertainment industry when it was nominated for and won an Academy Award (Best Original Song). The night was highlited by thier heartfelt live performance of the song “Falling Slowly,” as well as their humble and inspiring acceptance speeches.
In addition to writing the music for Once, Hansard and Irglova also play the leading roles and perform all of the fantastic the songs featured in the film. The chemistry achieved by the duo both on screen and performing live is uncanny. May 2nd will provide a fantastic chance to experience this beautiful and honest music in person.
