Swell Season at Bonnaroo

|

When Swell Season played "Falling slowly," and Glen Hansard asked the crowd to sing along “because we’re really quiet,” and thousands of people took him up on the offer, I remembered why I love music festivals. When Hansard and Markéta Irglová, a pair of actors who became one of recent cinema’s most intriguing fictional couples, then became one of music’s most intriguing actual couples sang Van Morrison’s “Into the Mystic” into the same mic, looking at each other lovingly, I remembered why I love music festivals. When Drive-By Truckers’ Patterson Hood told a six-minute maybe-true, maybe-not six-minute story about his mother with the band playing behind him; when Jack White fell into his microphone stand and knocked over one of the monitors, but kept on tearing into his guitar; when M.I.A. had an overflowing crowd pumping their fists to "Galang,” I remembered why I love music festivals.

High Gravity

Catching Up With... Glen Hansard

|

Glen Hansard had already established himself as a man of musical integrity before 2007. As the singer and guitarist of The Frames, he forged his way into many independent music loving hearts. But the release of a little film called Once (Paste's #2 of the year) blew his fanbase wide open. The support has been so momentous that he and his co-star, Markéta Irglová, have been able to take the music that they wrote and performed in the film and tour on it as The Swell Season.
