"It is with deep regret we announce Glen Hansard is officially cancelling his shows in Atlanta and New Orleans this week. This is done on the advice of doctors whom believe with the proper rest the remaining dates of the tour can be made. This is uncharted territory as Glen has never had to cancel multiple shows in his over 25 years as a performer. It’s impossible not to recognize what an inconvenience this is for those who have purchased tickets and made plans to attend, as well as the promoters and local crews who put so much energy into making these shows happen. We offer our sincerest apologies to all those who make these shows possible, including you the fans, and very much look forward to making it back to Cincinnati, Atlanta and New Orleans as soon as possible. We also want to say Thank You to everyone who has sent positive energy and well wishes. It is greatly appreciated.
Refunds available at point of purchase. Tour will resume in Austin, Texas on Friday Sept 13th." - Glen Hansard's Team

Artist Info:
Those who have followed Hansard's career since his Academy Award-winning turn in the film Once will have witnessed one artistic arc: the journey of a Dublin busker who cut his teeth on the greats -- Dylan, Van Morrison, Leonard Cohen -- and followed the path of the troubadour, the singer-songwriter to great effect.
But there is another thread running through Glen Hansard's musicianship. In his decades as lead singer of Irish stalwarts The Frames, rock and folk ambitions coexist with moments of strangeness, intimacy, and stillness: love songs drowning in the last fevers of the Spanish Flu ("Santa Maria"), protagonists who ponder throwing it all away and disappearing in a fugue state ("Keepsake"). And above all, the band, veering from silence to cacophony, ready to underpin soaring emotional and dynamic shifts.
This Wild Willing marks an inflection point in his career, a turning where he marries the sonic inventiveness of the best of his work in The Frames to the discipline he's found as a lyricist in his solo career.
