Built in 1906 as a shelter for young wayward or orphaned girls, the Good Shepherd Center Chapel in Seattle provided a new sort of haven for two hundred Artists Den guests on a crisp autumn night. Now a Historic Seattle landmark and performance space, the intimate chapel is framed by high wooden arches, which were lit by candlelight while the latest incarnation of the Swell Season -- led by Academy Award winners, Glen Hansard and backed by Marketa Irglova on piano and two of Hansard's band mates from the Frames on bass and violin -- gave a special performance of their melodic, original songs, several of which were featured in the Fox Searchlight film Once.
