Between Two Shores

Glen Hansard shines just as brightly in a large ensemble as he does on his own. The Irishman, who became known as the lead actor and composer for the film "Once," is now releasing his third solo album. "Between Two Shores" showcases the singer-songwriter in top form once again. Throughout his career spanning over two decades, Hansard has never taken the easy route. His passionate songs often navigate the challenging struggle of finding a professional form for them while also grappling with the equally intense conflict of not losing romantic affection in the process. He explored these themes with his earlier bands, The Frames and Swell Season, and further delved into them in his previous releases "Rhythm and Repose" (2012) and "Didn't He Ramble" (2015). Glen Hansard has received an A.
