    Биография

    Glass Hammer is a symphonic-progressive rock band from the United States. They formed in 1992 when multi-instrumentalists Steve Babb and Fred Schendel began to write and record Journey of the Dunadan. While many musicians have appeared on Glass Hammer albums over the years, Babb and Schendel have remained the core of the band. Though they sing, a number of other vocalists have also handled lead vocal duties including Michelle Young, Walter Moore, Carl Groves (Salem Hill), Susie Bogdanowicz and Jon Davison (Yes). Worthy of mention, Yes vocalist Jon Anderson provided backup vocals on two songs from 2007's Culture of Ascent. Musically, they lean towards 70's driven symphonic rock, with strong keyboard orientation; specifically Hammond organs in the tradition of ELP. They have a superb melodic flow to the music they make, encapsulating real power and dynamics without ever becoming overpowering. Their most apparent influences are Yes, ELP, Genesis, and, to a less noticeable extent, Camel. Without a doubt, GH remain one of the most popular groups in the progressive rock genre. All the albums are very conceptual, and there is great musicianship overall. Current band members include co-founders Steve Babb (bass guitar, guitar and keyboards), Fred Schendel (keyboards and guitar) along with Aaron Raulston (drums), and Hannah Pryor (lead vocalist).
