Glass House

Critic Tom Semioli describes Glass House as “an intoxicating brew of world, soul, folk, blues and jazz.”

Pooling songwriting influences from artists such as Sting, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel and Dave Matthews, with performance styles ranging from new grass to funk to blues, Glass House is an acoustic tour de force of Mark Vickness’ intricate, layered guitars, David Worm’s soaring, blues-inflected vocals, the virtuoso violin textures of two time Grammy winner Mads Tolling, and the amazing artistry of upright bassist Dan Feiszli. Their third CD, Long Way Down, won high praise from critics around the world. Rocktimes says: “This beautiful music will simply knock you over!" Critical Jazz calls the group "amazing with an intimate yet powerful approach. A stunning rendition of Robbie Robertson's 'Broken Arrow.' Worm's vocals are warm and powerful." 

In live performances, Glass House delivers their music with a sincerity and ease that draws the audience into their world. Expressive and engaging, they create a comeraderie that is a joy to behold. Their music is richly textured and rhythmically driven by David’s stunning vocal percussion (he is one of the most in demand vocal drummers in the world), Mark’s modern fingerstyle percussive acoustic guitar techniques, and Mads’ snare drum style bowing technique. 

With a commitment to delivering beautifully-crafted and thought-provoking songs, and fueled by their solid background and obvious love of music, it seems likely that Glass House will quickly grow into a much loved live act. If you are a fan of songwriting in the jazzy world style of Sting and are looking for great acoustic music with a positive message that’s still got some grit, check out Glass House. You’ll be glad you did!
