The Glass Hours are American songwriters Brad Armstrong and Megan Barbera, who are gearing up to release their self-titled nine-song debut album on Cornelius Chapel Records on March 1st 2024. With the exception of Sue Westcott on fiddle, the album was written, performed, recorded and produced by Brad and Megan in Brad’s home studio in Red Hook, New York. The combined country-folk sound has a retro-feel, as well as combining influences from Megan’s mountain roots and Brad’s southern roots.
Speaking of today’s song singer-songwriter Brad Armstrong told Americana UK that “‘Scarlet Tongues’ started as a kind of call-and-response folk song, then the idea of how that repeated line could mean different things evolved. It’s a song about chasing something, but always coming home. or wanting to, anyway. It’s kind of an apology, I guess.“
