I covered a Glen Hansard (Swell Season) song, posted the link on Twitter, and Glen Hansard heard it… liked it, and responded. I guess he liked it enough to tweet about it twice. Glen Hansard is an Academy Award winner, is the lead singer of the popular Irish band The Frames, and currently the lead singer of The Swell Season. Glen Hansard is the star of the motion picture ONCE. Very big day for me.
About Me
Aspiring singer/songwriter from Austin, TX. Would like to someday travel the world playing music and visit Las Vegas as many times as physically possible before I die. I love playing Texas Hold'em but don't do it very well. I’ve been playing guitar since the age of 10 and am currently recording some songs at Wonderland Studio in Austin, TX. Unfortunately, I do not read music and cannot provide you with any of the tabs to any of the songs I play. However, I will tell you that I frequently use a double dropped D tuning. Influences: Glen Hansard (the frames, the Swell Season), John Mayer, Bob Schneider, Doyle Bramhall II, and Monte Montgomery.
