Amazing session! I wonder if you could tell me the setup you're using to record it all?

@dpwaco, see below.

I'd like to know how they mic'd this... you can hear the room a lot, but great sound like you're sitting right in there.

[kexpradio]

@hatboxjen, we were pretty lo-fi here with a Zoom recorder, using its stereo pair added to a shotgun mic. The room itself had a wonderful natural reverb thanks to the wood walls. It was a public area with a large stage not far outside, so the audio isn't going to be as good as with most of our sessions, but we're happy also with the results.

This is a new Glen Hansard. No Marketa and no old-beat-to-hell guitar. Strange

[kexpradio]

@acjone4, he actually had to borrow a guitar to do this session only because his wasn't readily available... but he does still have the "old-beat-to-hell guitar"... just not Marketa!

2 people where crying so hard that their vision was obstructed and they accidently hit dislike.

Wish I could sing and play so beautifully. Looks better than meditation, better than sex.

I dig his sound, he sounds like kings of leon's lead singer caleb followill

[Plasmagon]

Why is he dressed like a hobo?

[zemc77]

Looks like a hobo;

Sings like a God.

[Barrygibbin]

I want to be his friend and make music with him and travel with him....life would be swell and fun!

[JokerUnkown]

he should do a cover of Mumford and Sons - The Cave

[WhizzyLewis]

Great, now I'm in love with a man who looks like a fisherman. ¬_¬

[bellananni]
