After being blown away at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass by Glen Hansard and his 11-piece band (including members of his band The Frames, and the late Levon Helms’ horn section), we have been infatuated with the man and his music, including his most recent album Rhythm and Repose.  While you can find many examples of Hansard playing solo (at NPR, QTV and Kink Radio-Bing Lounge), only the KCRW episode below from June features a full backing band (since they were all in LA for their one concert in Cali in June).  Check out the whole episode immediately below or, if you don’t have the time, check out a few songs from the episode further below.  We can’t wait to catch him when he returns with a full band to California.
