The Swell Season
July 31, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Grammy and Academy Award winning duo The Swell Season are making a rare appearance in the Carolinas when they bring their prolific harmonies to the Peace Center on July 31.
The acclaimed duo of Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova came to prominence together starring in the 2007 film Once and winning the Academy Award for Best Original Song with “Falling Slowly.” The soundtrack garnered two Grammy nominations and the two christened their music project The Swell Season.
In 2012, Once The Musical debuted and went on to win eight Tony Awards, including Best Musical and a Laurence Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement in Music.
After pursuing individual solo careers, Hansard and Irglova have reunited to release Forward, their first new album in 16 years. They are currently touring in Europe, the UK, Ireland and North America, which includes a July 31 date at the Peace Center.
