Touring to promote his latest release This Wild Willing, Glen Hansard brought his talents and his live show to the Lincoln Theatre in Washington, DC for an unforgettable performance this past Monday evening.
The performance marked Hansard’s last US stop on the current leg of his tour before European dates start on June 9th in Amsterdam. Hansard will play a few more US shows this year with stops in Chicago and a few California dates in September.
His album, This Wild Willing was released in April of 2019 to critical acclaim. This record marks Hansard’s forth solo effort and his third overall release in less than four years, including work with his more rockish project, The Frames. This Wild Willing is a departure from his most recent work and is perhaps Hansards most ambitious project to date.
I personally really dig the explosiveness of tracks like “Fools Game” and the dynamics and versatility in sound that Hansard’s brings to tracks like “The Closing Door,” “Threading Water,” and “Weight of the World.” This Wild Willing is available from Anti- Records (via Epitaph Records) on black vinyl.
