One of the first Christianthemed pop/rock acts, Glass Harp included singer/guitarist Phil Keaggy, bassist Dan Pecchio, and drummer John Sferra. Formed in 1969 in Youngstown, OH, the group a freeform power trio in the tradition of Cream, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, and fellow Buckeyes the James Gang quickly developed a strong local following, and in 1970 they signed to Decca to issue their selftitled debut LP. Synergy followed a year later, but after 1972's It Makes Me Glad Glass Harp disbanded; Keaggy went on to enjoy considerable success as a CCM solo act, while Pecchio later cofounded the Michael Stanley Band. Glass Harp's original lineup came together for a reunion concert in 1988.
