The Swell Season is a folk duo formed by Irish singer-songwriter Glen Hansard, known for his work with The Frames, and Czech singer and pianist Markéta Irglová. Their musical style is characterized by acoustic folk with particularly well-crafted vocal melodies. The duo gained international fame thanks to the soundtrack of the film "Once", in which they played the roles of two musicians who meet in Dublin and develop a relationship through music. Their collaboration, born on the set of the film, gave rise to a self-titled album, "The Swell Season", released in 2008. The album was a great success, winning the Oscar for Best Original Song with the song "Falling Slowly". Besides their cinematic success, The Swell Season continued to release music and perform worldwide, solidifying their position as one of the most acclaimed folk duos on the international scene. Among the representative songs of their repertoire, we remember "The Hill", "Say It To Me Now" and "Lie With Me".
