- Back in October 2009, The Fretboard Journal (www.fretboardjournal.com) did a photo shoot in Seattle with Glen Hansard of the Frames / Swell Season for a forthcoming feature story. Halfway through the shoot, Hansard joined a local busker and performed a few tunes in front of Pike Place Market. Fretboard Journal publisher Jason Verlinde grabbed his Flip camera (sorry for the shaky footage!) and started recording it. Here it is. A Swell Season tune, a Van Morrison tune and a Waterboys tune (in part two).

This man has an Oscar and he's buskin wi some randomer on the street, that tells you everything you need to know about him!
This would literally make me the happiest person ever to see him on the street like this.
Theres no Airs and Graces with Glen. Hes probably one of if not the most down to earth musician and all round good bloke. You just feel with him he lives his music, i mean in ireland hes never to far away when a charity gig is on about the city and he cut his teeth busking from a very young age which i think has stood to him most of all. He makes you feal part of the gig, he'll have ya laughing one minute and in a flash he'd have ya in tears. Fair play to ya Glen, you fly the flag well.
That guitar has always sounded so fucking great. I don't know if it's his playing style, the setup or the guitar what but I would sure want someone to setup a guitar like that for me
amazingly cool
He was in town for a press tour so there was no gig later in the night. But when he played Seattle a month later, he let another busker (someone he just heard while walking around town that day!) perform a song on the stage at his concert. Was pretty cool and she sounded really good.
@Fretboardjournal I saw that show. it was amazing. I also recently saw them play at marrymoor park in Washington state. It was 2 days after that person jumped to their death onto the stage midway through their performance. I felt so bad for em, but they were still amazing live.
back to the roots again : )
it's a smart marketing tool of the Sound View Cafe which is right behind Glen...
That he did it doesn't suprise me at all, but it does delight me!
hahahaha i love how he thanks people for their money when he really doesn't need it. haha. He's freaking brilliant though Love how he still does this.
wow he really did that? so cool! I'm definately gonna perform on the street like that too. maybe he'll notice me.
true, but 'once' the musical surely has made him a lot.
@noahVITP Glen plays in the strangest tunings. A lot of his songs are open E, I believe. It looks like he's playing C and F a lot, not sure what that one chord is further up the neck though.
Do you know if he invited the busker to go to the gig? I'm sure he did. He's class like that.
mouth organ guy is very good
is that outside the famous fish market!
too funny the comment "no money yet"
OK, that's it....I'm gonna make sure I have a harpoon in the Key of 'A' on me at all times.
All times.
.
does anyone have the chords for Low Rising like plays it here?
I don't think one could confirm he doesn't need it.
Being popular doesn't mean you've become financially stable.
He's very well off. He has a broadway musical that performs his songs. He's even said himself that he's set for life.
@WeThreeBuskateers the best way to kill whales is in the key of A.
E and C#m
