Glen Hansard

Glen Hansard is the prototype of a born musician who devotes his life entirely to his art. At the age of 13, he began busking in Dublin out of conviction.

With his debut album "Rhythm and Repose," Glen Hansard entered the Irish charts at number 3 in 2012 and celebrated his first hit with the quiet ballad "High Hope." "Didn't He Ramble" repeated this chart position and brought the Irish musician into the top 50 of the German album charts for the first time in 2015 thanks to songs such as "Wedding Ring" and "Winning Streak." With his third album "Between Two Shores" and the song "Why Woman," the singer-songwriter celebrated his greatest success in 2018, reaching number 16 on the official album charts in Germany. Following his fourth work, "This Wild Willing" (2019), his current album, "All That Was East Is West of Me Now," was released in 2023 and was celebrated by British magazine Mojo for the great variety of musical aspects that the singer-songwriter has brought together on one album for the first time. In November 2024, he returned with The Swell Season and a tour that took the duo through the UK and Europe in May 2025. The new album "Forward" followed in July of that year. Glen Hansard—now 55 years old—has developed over time into an accomplished singer-songwriter who, in addition to his diverse influences from folk, rock, jazz, indie, and pop, impresses above all with his fundamental musical values.
