Glass Harp

Glass Harp was a Youngstown, Ohio based power trio consisting of guitarist Phil Keaggy, drummer John Sferra[?] and bassist Dan Pecchio[?].

In the early 70's, Glass Harp performed with Traffic,Yes, The Kinks, Humble Pie, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, and Grand Funk Railroad and others, on stages ranging from the Fillmore auditorium[?] to Carnegie Hall.

Keaggy left the band in 1973 to pursue a solo career. Sferra and Pecchio continued to record together as Glass Harp for a while, and eventually went their separate ways. All three band members have reunited a number of times, including several well received performances in Ohio, and a short tour in 2000. The 2000 reunion tour included a sold out performance with the Youngstown Syrnphony Orchestra[?], which was recorded and released as a 2 CD set, entitled Strings Attached. Sferra also played drums on Keaggy's Crimson and Blue album, and the 1993 tour in support of that release.

At one point, Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh[?] had considered joining the band.
