Glen Hansard‘s new album Between Two Shores is out later this month (1/19). His 2018 tour kicks off in NYC where he’ll play sold out shows at Town Hall on January 19 and Brooklyn Steel on January 21. Right after those Glen will play a considerably more intimate show at Rough Trade on January 22. The show is free with purchase of Between Two Shores on the day of the show at Rough Trade, and members of the Rough Trade Albums Club get guaranteed entry (you have to have already signed up, though). More info on the Rough Trade show is here.

In other news, Glen is inviting filmmakers to make a video for his new single “Wreckless Heart.” Glen is judging all entries and the winner will be the official video for the song. You need to submit by February 2 and more details are here. You can listen to that song, and watch a live performance of “Time Will Be The Healer” from German television below.
