The Swell Season

Friday afternoon I got a call from Jon saying, “Get ready for a fun night… It’s a surprise…” He came home with two tickets to a concert at The Depot with The Swell Season; a concert that almost immediately sold out months ago. But leave it to Jon to make the right connections at just the right time and come up with tickets the day of.


Anyway, I won’t mince words… hands down the BEST concert I have EVER heard. How can you not love Glen Hansard, a man who sings with his soul on fire, a man who still plays his first guitar, into the front of which he has passionately worn giant holes. And Marketa Irglova was subtly amazing. The music was utterly transcendent and I left with my soul on fire.
