This past weekend Glen Hansard spoke with CBS’s Jeff Glor in a wide-ranging interview that covered his new record, his journey from busker to the Oscars, being musical director at Shane MacGowan’s funeral and becoming a new dad. Hansard also performed three songs from his latest album ‘All That Was East Is West Of Me Now’ for CBS This Morning: Saturday’s St. Patrick’s Day episode. Watch the performances below.
“THERE'S NO MOUNTAIN”
“THE FEAST OF ST. JOHN”
“BEARING WITNESS”
‘All That Was East Is West Of Me Now’ came together after a secret residency in November 2022 at Hansard’s local pub just outside Dublin and was recorded with producer and former Frames member, David Odlum (Sam Smith, Tinariwen). The album’s title, Hansard says, stems from the “sudden realization that there’s more behind than ahead,” yet carries a thread of hopefulness over its eight tracks focusing on the promise of the future than just thoughts of regret or nostalgia.
This August and September Hansard will embark on a cross-country tour featuring headlining sets and opening dates for longtime friend Eddie Vedder and his band Pearl Jam. Hansard and his band will be joining them for ten shows, including at the iconic stadiums Wrigley Field and Fenway Park as well as Madison Square Garden. Dates in bold go on sale on Friday March 22nd at 10a local time. All upcoming dates are listed below.
