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).

'Didn't He Ramble', the second solo outing from acclaimed singer songwriter Glen Hansard, is released via Anti- Records. Glen Hansard is the celebrated principal songwriter and vocalist / guitarist for the influential Irish group The Frames. Whether busking the streets of Dublin, where he got his start, or headlining a gig, Hansard has garnered a reputation as an unparalleled frontman. Hansard is also one half of the acclaimed duo The Swell Season. The new album is his first in over three years and follows 2012's solo debut 'Rhythm and Repose', which Billboard hailed as "Hansard at his most engaging," while The Wall Street Journal furthered, "Hansard's distinguishing trait as a songwriter is a heavy-handed earnestness." 'Didn't He Ramble' was produced by Thomas Bartlett (The National, Sufjan Stevens), a frequent collaborator of Hansard's, and Grammy winner and former Frames band-mate David Odlum (Paloma Faith, Tinariwen). The album, which was recorded in New York, Dublin, Chicago and France, is Hansard's most intimate and elegant record since his work in Once and features guest appearances by John Sheahan (Dubliners), Sam Beam (Iron and Wine) and Sam Amidon.
