PICK OF THE WEEK: The Swell Season – Saturday, May 3rd – The Ellie Caulkins Opera House, Denver, CO

Why You Should Go: Unless you’ve been living in a box for the last year and half, you have at least heard of the movie Once. It is the enchanting and touching story of one man, his music, and the woman who helped him to get it out to the world. The man, Glen Hansard of The Frames, and the woman, Czech singer and pianist Marketa Irglova, are now touring together as The Swell Season. Unless you plan on heading out to Telluride for the Bluegrass Festival this is your only chance to catch these two performing songs from Once live, right in Denver, in the beautiful Ellie Caulkins Opera House.

Though Once received an enormous amount of attention in the months following it’s release it remained a largely “indie” movie until the Academy of Motion Pictures nominated the song “Falling Slowly” for the Oscar for Best Original Song. Hansard and Irglova won the Oscar and their popularity has since soared.

Craigslist may be your best bet for tickets to this one, but it never hurts to check ticketmaster as they frequently release tickets as the event approaches.
