Singer Songwriter

An Academy Award-winning songwriter, musician, actor and singer, Glen Hansard was born on 21 April 1970 in Dublin, Ireland. At the age of 13, he left school to pursue busking on the streets of Dublin. Hansard gained popularity as guitar player Outspan Foster in the Alan Parker film The Commitments.

In his native Ireland, Hansard is best known as the front man of The Frames. However, internationally he gained recognition for his leading role in the award-winning film Once. Directed by his former band-mate John Carney and co-starring Marketa Irglova (his real-life musical collaborator), Once showcased songs from Hansard's back catalogue as well as compositions co-written with Irglova.

The soundtrack to Once featured new arrangements of songs previously recorded with The Frames and earned critical acclaim. Notably, their composition Falling Slowly won both a Grammy Award for "Best Song Written for Motion Picture" and an Academy Award for "Best Original Song" in 2007.

Anti- is an American independent recorded label founded by [a=Andy Kaulkin] in 1998, their first release was Tom Waits "Mule Variations" (1999).

Not many heroes of indie folk have won an Oscar or created the basis of
a successful stage musical, but Glen Hansard is an artist who can wear
both of those feathers in his cap. As a member of the Frames and the Swell Season, Hansard won acclaim for his
literate, intelligent, and passionate songwriting and his nuanced vocals, and he's
gone on to win similar accolades as a solo artist. Hansard first gained an
audience for the limber but emphatic indie rock he created as a member of The
Frames, then gained international fame with fellow singer and songwriter
Marketa Irglova int he duo The Swell Season, whose emotionally open, primarily
acoustic indie folk became the centrepiece of the award- winning independent
romantic drama Once. After going out on his own with his 2012 solo debut,
Rhythm and Repose, Hansard has shown a stylistic diversity as he embraced the
sound of '70s singer / songwriters on 2015's Didn't He Ramble, vintage soul on
2018's Between Two Shores, and an eclectic swing between subtle folk and noisy
indie rock on 2019's This Wild Willing.
 Glen Hansard now presents All That Was East Is West Of Me Now, his first solo
album in 5 years. The album demonstrates the Oscar-winning singer-songwriter's
unique ability to blend Irish folk with modern rock &amp; the punch of his storied live
shows, of which The Guardian says ,"Hansard's powerful voice, whether raw with
passion or tender with regret, shines above arrangements bursting with swagger".
