Czech-born Markéta Irglová first appeared in the world of music as one half of the duo The Swell Season. With her songwriting and romantic partner Glen Hansard she composed the Academy Award–winning "Falling Slowly" and many of the other songs in the hit film "Once." The Swell Season, now a musical and non-romantic partnership, continues to tour, but Markéta Irglová has emerged as a solo artist and a voice of her own. Of her sparse, ethereal solo debut, "Anar," Lindsay Eanet of Paste wrote; "It's music you can curl up and hide in, to paraphrase Maya Angelou." Markéta conjures a whole musical world with just her voice and keyboard, and she comes to Michigan with her second solo release, "Muna."
