Glen Hansard in Temple of Dendur @ The Met — 5/26/2011
Eddie Vedder will release his second solo album this Tuesday (5/31) Ukulele Songs via Universal, plus a live concert film Water on the Road. The album features guest vocals from Glen Hansard (The Frames, The Swell Season) and Cat Power‘s Chan Marshall. The DVD, directed by Brendan Canty of Fugzazi and Christoph Green, features performances from Vedder’s 2008 solo tour. Ukulele Songs is currently streaming on NPR.
Vedder and Hansard will tour in support of the album this June and July. They will both also perform at the Pearl Jam Labor Day Destination Weekend festival at Alpine Valley Music Theatre in East Troy, WI on September 3 and 4. Other performers include The Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age, Mudhoney, John Doe, Joseph Arthur, Liam Finn, and special guests to be announced. Tickets go on sale June 4 at 10 AM CST.
Pearl Jam are following the festival with a ten-day Canadian tour and a documentary film, Pearl Jam Twenty, directed by Cameron Crowe. The film will be released with an accompanying book and soundtrack album, for which Cameron Crowe selected the track listing, this fall.
Glen Hansard played a solo acoustic set in the Temple of Dendur at The Met last night (5/26). The show was “in celebration of the exhibition Guitar Heroes: Legendary Craftsmen from Italy to New York” which is at the museum through July 4th. More pictures from that show, and all tour dates, below…
