Glen Hansard is just one of the fine musical talents heading across the Atlantic in late October to bring Other Voices to New York. Two shows will take place in Le Poisson Rouge on October 27 and 28, a brace of celebrations of music and literature that is set to feature some sterling performances.

Included in the line-up are the likes of experimental artist Laurie Anderson, brothers Bryce and Aaron Dessner of The National and Kildare's own Bell X1. Mr. Hansard will be bringing his Swell Season with him.

Aside from all that musical goodness, their will be spoken word as well, with novelist Joseph O'Connor making an appearance and the presence of the Fighting Words Creative Writing Centre.

Here's that line-up in full:
