From The Mike Nowak Show, April 1, 2012

In the WCPT studio with Mike Nowak

We Shall Breathe live on the radio!

Getting ready for the show

Launched kickstarter campaign today to raise funds for the new CD…I’m confident we’ll make a good run of it! We thank you for your support of music for the imagination!

And a special thanks to Mike Nowak for having us on the radio this Sunday! We enjoyed the unique blend of informative radio and spontaneous music. Be sure to tune in to the podcast if you missed the show for a live performance of We Shall Breathe and excerpts from a few of the new songs.

Live Radio Appearance on WCPT Chicago this Sunday, April 1st from 9-11am. Catch Tracy and Brian for a live performance of one of the songs from the new CD on the Mike Nowak Show – Chicago’s green living, gardening, and environmental program. Many of The Glass Hour songs involve a natural theme, and a connection between nature, heart and spirit. We hope you’ll join us for an interesting show!

Added updates to biographies, and some new photos in the gallery. Be sure to visit up on facebook as well for the latest on the new CD!

I’ve been working on a new group of solo harp pieces in the new age / electronic / world genres. Recently recorded new song entitled “Seasons of Change” with the contributions of talented Austrian guitarist Harald Peterstorfer, and drummer Gerald Endstrasser. Harald also mixed and mastered the new work. Hope to post soon for streaming, and later include in a complete collection.
Thank you so much to you friends for your beautiful work. Stay tuned.

The Glass Hour newest release of 10 anticipated new tracks due to go into final production, mixing, mastering this month in Chicago. We’re happy to be so close to bringing you the latest compilation of orchestrated, ethereal and rock based harp imaginations! Previews of these songs can be found at bandcamp or on our facebook page.

June was an eventful month as I toured on a week long acoustic performance set with Urn in several midwestern cities: St. Louis, Memphis, Indianapolis, Kansas City. Will be back on the road periodically in the summer and fall 2011.

Continuing to work on the new Glass Hour album this summer – due to work with other musical groups, Brian and I have been delayed in getting this out. New tracks created. Will not be part of the new album, but will try to post previews on bandcamp. Tracks from the forthcoming CD will also be posted for streaming here, and tracks from the album “Amaranthine” are available for download from bandcamp as well.

Thanks everyone!

At work on the latest Glass Hour release, EverAfter. A collection of 11 songs full of atmospheric ambience, layered orchestration based on harp melodies made to weave the story of one faery’s journey from tragedy, to newfound hope – born in a celebration of the moods and changing of the seasons.
