The Swell Season comes to the intimate Fillmore Miami Beach at the Jackie Gleason Theatre on Monday, May 24 at 8:00PM.
The Swell Season is Glen Hansard (from the Irish band, The Frames) and Marketa Irglova (classically trained Czech pianist and vocalist). Named after a novel by humanist Czech writer Josef Skvorecky, they are a songwriting duo with a penchant for vocal harmonies and acoustic-based songcraft. The pop/rock twosome released a self-titled debut in 2006. Hansard and Irglova also appeared as working-class immigrants in the popular Irish movie Once, which was presented at the Sundance Film Festival in 2007. The following year, the duo received an Academy Award for Best Original Song for the film’s hit single, “Falling Slowly,” and the Swell Season’s popularity surged as a result. Once: Music from the Motion Picture went gold in February 2008, and an accompanying tour saw the group performing to sold-out crowds in multiple countries. Their sophomore album, Strict Joy, was released last year and included the popular tune “Low Rising.”.
