Glass Harp (band) - 2010-present

2010-present

On March 27, 2010, Glass Harp released Live at the Beachland Ballroom 11.01.08. The album was more experimental and free-form in nature than previous Glass Harp recordings, and includes extended versions of older material bridged together by the nearly-sixteen-minute "Beachland Jam". The ten song project included material from Phil's solo career: "Sign Came through a Window" and "John the Revelator." The album is a recording of a benefit concert that Glass Harp headlined for Roots of American Music (www.rootsofamericanmusic.org), "an organization dedicated to the preservation, performance and education about traditional American music in our schools."

In March 2011 Glass Harp's post-Decca catalog was released on iTunes, and many other streaming/digital services.

On May 7, 2011, guitarist Neil Zaza joined Glass Harp for two songs during their concert at Cleveland's Beachland Ballroom.

Glass Harp remains semi-active as of 2012, performing one-off headlining shows and short tours. In addition, Daniel Pecchio and John Sferra occasionally appear with Phil Keaggy for an electric set during the guitarist's solo performances in or around Ohio. In an August 2012 interview, Keaggy said "Especially this past year I've gotten extra comfortable playing with Glass Harp, we've been lifelong friends. We really love each other as friends and brothers."

In March 2012 Keaggy, Sferra and Pecchio performed four concerts in the Eastern U.S. billed as "The Phil Keaggy Band" rather than "Glass Harp".
