Blending elements of traditional and experimental harp atmospherics with electric progressive rock undertones, orchestral imaginations, acoustic + electric guitar and, haunting, yet soulful lyrics, The Glass Hour is exactly what its title proclaims. Listen - see - through new eyes, and experience the soundtracks of imagined times, imagined lives....
Tracy plays various solo harp, improv, and group engagements in the Chicago area including gallery, weddings, small space, and ambient/darkside events while continuing to record in her home studio. Though not currently working with TGH, Ed and Matt continue to work on solo recordings, as well as live performances in prog/rock. In the past 2 yrs., various other artists have joined Tracy's solo harp, vocal, keyboard compositions in a move towards more orchestrated sounds. Tracy continues to be the primary composer on most works, and periodically invities other instrumentalists to add their unique touch to the glass hour project. Feel welcome to inquire! Overall, the mood and spirit of TGH will always contain that element of another age, a world out of time. Thank you friends.

Thank you for the music, the songs "YOU'RE" singing. Thanks for all the joy they're bringing. Who can live without it, I ask in all honesty? What would life be? Without a song or a dance what are we? So I say thank you for the music... For giving it to me.
Even if the Earth are crying I think that the beautiful music you bring into Earth makes a smile on her...:) Keep bringing this beauty into our Earth! Much Love...E
