GLEN HANSARD PERFORMS “LOWLY DESERTER” ON “THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT”DIDN’T HE RAMBLE OUT NOW VIA ANTI-RECORDSNORTH AMERICAN TOUR KICKS OFF TONIGHT
Acclaimed singer-songwriter Glen Hansard performed “Lowly Deserter” last Friday on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.” Watch here: http://bit.ly/1NZ5Iuq. The song is taken from Hansard’s latest album Didn’t He Ramble, out now via Anti- Records. Watch the official video for “Lowly Deserter” here: https://youtu.be/mPliDNX5Zmg. Didn’t He Ramble continues to receive critical acclaim: “The central ingredient remains Hansard’s worn but wonderfully flexible voice, which sounds as kind and expressive as ever, with warmth to match the songs he sings.”—NPR Music “Didn’t He Ramble proves Hansard’s songwriting is better than ever. And though it was perhaps a difficult process, the result is arguably some of his best work to date.”—The Daily Beast “Didn’t He Ramble evokes a feeling similar to one of Van Morrison’s Celtic-soul fever dreams, burnishing the prevailing sense of romantic fatalism with some low-key bravado on the standout track ‘Winning Streak’ (a kissing cousin to Bob Dylan’s early-Seventies’ chestnut ‘Forever Young’).”—Rolling Stone
“Didn’t He Ramble represents Hansard’s finest work since Once, with simple, often sparse production, clear-as-the-morning-sun vocals, and strong performances throughout…this is an ‘album’ in the purest sense: a document that demands multiple front-to-back listens in order to tease out its intricacies, dark and light.”—Popmatters Hansard will support the new album on tour throughout North American this fall. The tour kicks off tonight at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and include stops at the Chicago Theatre in Chicago, the new Kings Theatre in Brooklyn and the Beacon Theater in New York City. See details below. 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 was recorded in New York, Dublin, Chicago and France and features guest appearances by John Sheahan (Dubliners), Sam Beam (Iron and Wine) and Sam Amidon. 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. In 2007, he and Czech songstress Markéta Irglová took home the Academy Award for Best Original Song for “Falling Slowly” off the Once soundtrack. In 2013, the Broadway adaptation, Once, The Musical, won eight Tony Awards including the top musical prize itself. His debut solo album Rhythm & Repose was released in 2012.
