In 1997 we acquired the Live at Carnegie Hall show that we had recorded opening for the Kinks in 1972. This sparked a show at The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In 2000 we got together for a show in our hometown of Youngstown, Ohio (our first home show in 30 years). The show was recorded and released in 2001 on our own label. Response the CD was great and created more opportunities to play live.

Finally in 2002 we began work on our first studio project in 30 years. We recorded 16 songs at Blue Desert Recording on "The Row" in Nashville and in Phil's home studio. We mixed in Ohio and mastered in Nashville with Richard Dodd.

Phil has been a major influence in the building Contemporary Christian Music, garnering 5 Dove awards, 2 Grammy nominations, 2 Nashville Music Awards, and he has finished #2 and #3 twice each in the annual Guitar Player Magazine poll (see philkeaggy.net).

As a trio, Glass Harp's musical style is eclectic in the studio. In concert, Glass Harp exhibits a deeper exploration of their studio material, turning it into improvisational journeys of epic length and technical fireworks. This explains the recent growth in numbers of young people attending Glass Harp shows and buying our CDs. Through the Internet, MP3s of our jams (both past AND current) are being discovered by a new audience (see glassharp.net).

Recently I met Derek Trucks through My son Ted who played with Col. Bruce Hampton. I gave Derek the "Live Carnegie Hall" CD and the recent double live "Strings Attached." After listening to the CD Derek gave me his manager's number and asked that we try to do something together. We recently played with Ekoostic Hookah who has a large following in Ohio and the jam band scene. Hookah and the festival crowd gave us a great response. On a different musical plane entirely, Phil just finished three tracks including one solo, for the upcoming POD CD.

Glass Harp is not a nostalgia band. Despite what the mirror tells us, the songs, harmonies and playing on "Hourglass" offer young hearts, voices, and spirit.
