The Glass Hours are American songwriters Megan Barbera and Brad Armstrong. Combining influences from Megan’s Colorado mountain roots and Brad’s Birmingham, AL southern roots, the Americana/Country Folk duo met in New York’s Hudson Valley in Summer 2022 and began writing and performing together immediately. They recorded their first album the following spring.
Their self-titled debut album was released by Cornelius Chapel Records in March 2024, and several songs from the album were featured by Americana UK, The Bluegrass Situation and Americana Highways. The duo was invited to play NYC’s Underwater Sunshine Festival, an annual music showcase curated by Adam Duritz, lead singer for Counting Crows. From there, they self-booked two national tours in 2024 and began writing their second album while on tour in the West.
The Glass Hours second album, Chapel Glass, was recorded in November 2024 at Dial Back Sound in Water Valley, MS (release date TBA). Chapel Glass was co-produced, engineered and mixed by Clay Jones (Al Green, Modest Mouse.) and includes Matt Patton (Drive-by Truckers, Laura Jane Grace) on bass, Jason Lucia (Blue Mountain, Galactic Engineers) on drums, Baxter Arender on keys, and a guest appearance by Taylor Hollingsworth (Dead Fingers, Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band).
Combining influences from Megan’s Colorado mountain roots and Brad’s Alabama southern roots, The Glass Hours is currently based in New York’s Hudson Valley. Prior to now, Megan and Brad have written, performed and recorded for various independent projects. Megan’s songs have been licensed worldwide to brands such as Naturalizer Shoes and San Miguel Beverage Co. Brad was a member of Alabama’s Dexateens, 13ghosts and Maria Taylor’s touring band and has supported Jason Isbell, Alabama Shakes, Drive-By Truckers, John Moreland, Meat Puppets, Magnolia Electric Company and Azure Ray among many others.
