    Glen's new video and first official single from the new record is up:


    Glen Hansard
    'Love Don't Leave Me Waiting'
    APRIL 17, 2012

    In his new video, Irish musician Glen Hansard goes tropical, finding warm bliss and plenty of sunshine in the clip for "Love Don't Leave Me Waiting." Reveals director Heidi Rose, "It's like going out on a trip to an exotic island: It's summer, it's full of hope, it's exciting, it's alive, it makes you want to dance and sing along. That is what Glen's 'Love Don't Leave Me Waiting' feels like. We shared this feeling with a group of young men and women, who very spontaneously and generously got involved in the making of our video." The Swell Season member and Frames frontman will release his solo debut, Rhythm and Reponse, on June 19th through Anti-.

    Very bummed out to miss Glen playing in London by 3 weeks. Damn. I'd so hoped a show would maybe co-incide. :(

    So good!

    I was bummed about not being able to see him at the Beacon (traveling to Prague for PJ), but got tickets for the show he's doing at the Bookstore Cafe next month so it all worked out in the end. Very excited.

    Oh, man, I wish I had seen this earlier. I got tickets for the Beacon show but my son, who is the biggest Glen Hansard fan in the family, will be away at camp on the 29th. He would have loved to go to this show.

    On a related note, my son wrote a song the other day inspired by "Falling Slowly" and Bach's Suite for Solo Cello No. 1; I'm biased, but it's really an amazing piece, and I hope he will let me share it with people at some point. :)

    If anyone has a spare ticket to the Bookstore Cafe appearance in NYC on June 12th, PM me, please! I would love to be able to get my young man in there.

    There aren't actually tickets - it's a guest list kind of thing (though, someone could just bring your son in as his/her guest if they had a spare of course). Maybe you can go that night and if there are no shows they'll let you buy a "ticket" to go in?

    I'd say go along early with the little fella and try explain to the staff or catch Glens eye on the way in. You never know.
  • curmudgeonesscurmudgeoness Posts: 3,988
    Thanks for the info, both of you. :)

    He's not that little, LOL -- just thirteen, but a very big guy, nearly six feet tall.

    If you're reading this, and the guest you were taking on the 12th cancels on you, consider my young man (I'll wait outside); he's a completely awesome kid -- sweet, mature, very well-behaved (excellent concert manners!), a total music geek and a Glen Hansard fan. I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom, either; you won't regret helping this kid. :)

    Looking forward to the L.A. show at the Wiltern.

    For those who are wondering, he is performing with a band, as opposed to solo acoustic.
  • SD48277SD48277 Posts: 12,243
    Looks as though he will be doing an in-store performance at the Union Square Barnes and Noble on June 28 at 7:00.
