The Swell Season (aka Academy Award winners/Once stars Glen Hansard and Markéta Irglová) have made their two-legged North American tour even sweller with the addition of some stellar opening acts.

Iron & Wine and Bill Callahan join the duo on separate dates of the tour's fall leg. Rachel's member Rachel Grimes opens two shows on the tour's already underway spring leg. Grimes' solo piano sets are in support of a forthcoming self-released album called Book of Leaves.

The Swell Season's next stop is tonight (May 5) in Kansas City, Mizzou. Iron & Wine and Bill Callahan also have plenty dates of their own.
