In memory of Glen Hansard, we’re revisiting his intimate 2015 solo acoustic session in KUTX Studio 1A. Here, he performs “Winning Streak” from his then-upcoming album, *Didn’t He Ramble*.

The session also included songs from throughout his career, including “Falling Slowly,” the Academy Award-winning song he wrote and performed with Markéta Irglová for the film *Once* and a cover of Willie Nelson's hit "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain".

Hansard began performing on the streets of Dublin as a teenager and went on to become the frontman of The Frames, one half of The Swell Season and an acclaimed solo artist. He also appeared in *The Commitments* and starred alongside Irglová in *Once*.

Glen Hansard died July 29, 2026, at age 56. We’re grateful to preserve this performance as part of the KUTX archive.

Recorded live at KUTX Studio 1A in Austin, Texas, on August 22, 2015.
