Marketa's Goin' Solo!

A lot of music has a way of getting me pumped up...but nothing has ever touched me as much as The Swell Season and their belted out lyrics of heartache, joy, and life in general. The name of the band came from a poem of the same title which repeats that "the poet makes grief beautiful." So appropriate for their style. I love to put their live DVD in and turn it way up while I paint or work on other projects. Anywho... I just found out via American Songwriter that one of the lead singers {Marketa Irglova} is going solo and her new album, Anar, will be released soon and I am so excited!

Check out a trailer promoting Anar here.
