While the new Rhythm and Repose feels like a low-key '70s singer-songwriter record (think Cat Stevens or Van Morrison), this five-song set gives Hansard a chance to flex his neck muscles a bit, as he lends blustery force to an assortment of new songs and deep cuts.

Set List:
"Love Don't Leave Me Waiting"
"Bird Of Sorrow"
"Come Away To The Water"
"Lucia"
"The Song Of Good Hope"
