Plastic Magazine

"Combining experience and respective talents, both as songwriters and musicians, Glass Cabin lays down a heavy country rock sound, while delivering a pioneering exploration of  folk and Americana. Full of memorable vocal leads and expert musicianship of guitar, percussion, mandolin and banjo, Glass Cabin is a stunning alternative country record that offers an engrossing listening experience from start to finish.” 

“Glass Cabin’s heartbreak-ridden new album is their best yet and as authentic Americana as they come. With Emmylou, the duo show their expertise in songwriting and production. I’ve made no secret of my respect for their sound over the past few years, and their latest album really elevates it. It’s a beautifully put-together album, with the right balance of pathos, vulnerability, and old-fashioned grit.” York Calling, UK

Lonesome Highway - Declan Culliton

"This is hard edged heartland Americana at its finest. Dreamlike songs of unease and unrest play out like chapters from a Daniel Woodrell country noir novel, by a duo not afraid to challenge the tried and trusted. The end result is a hugely rewarding eight-track record, which fuses country rock and folk, with a somewhat left of centre gothic edge."

        Based in Nashville, TN, roots-rock band Glass Cabin was formed by singer/songwriter Jess Brown and studio musician David Flint. After a decade of co-producing other artists, the two began collaborating on their own project during the pandemic, resulting in the self-titled album, "Glass Cabin," released October 2021 along with their single and video, "Hey O." The duo's second LP “2” was released October 2023 with the single “Weary Man.” The new 11 track album, Glass Cabin 3 “emmylou,” dropped September 26th and  includes the singles “I Don't Know,” “What I Do"  and the cover of Fleetwood Mac's hit “The Chain.” Their music has been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, HBO, Netflix, Hulu and Hallmark. 

*****************************

        Writing for Almo-Irving/Universal, Barry Beckett and EMI, Brown scored hits for Lee Ann Womack (A Little Past Little Rock, Now You See Me), Trisha Yearwood (I Need You), John Michael  Montgomery (Rope The Moon, Cover You In Kisses, Bus To Birmingham), Tracy Lawrence (The Coast Is Clear, A Far Cry), Sara Evans (I Learned That From You), Neal McCoy (You Gotta Love That, Heaven), Confederate Railroad. Chris LeDoux and Trace Adkins (Rainbows and the Rain), Randall King (One Goodbye) and "Break Down Here" for Julie Roberts and Trace Adkins , which the NY Times called Roberts' “a country classic.” With 25 gold and platinum certifications, inclusion in the Top Road Songs and Grammy and CMA nominated albums, his songs appear on over 25 million cds. 

        Hailing from upstate New York, multi-instrumentalist David Flint was a founding member and lead guitarist with country rock group, Billy Montana and the Longshots, which led to the band being signed to a recording artist deal at Warner Brothers Records with the legendary Martha Sharp, Warner’s VP at the time, in charge of finding new talent. After the country rock band folded, Flint made the move to Nashville and began touring with numerous groups, most notably the hit country rock band Highway 101, touring with them for the next decade before turning his attention to producing artists (Addison Johnson, Clayton Smalley, Jake Ybarra) while concentrating on steady Nashville session work at many of the most prestigious studios in and around Nashville.  

Dulaxi News, Los Angeles

“Within country rock and the shadowy bends of Americana noir, Glass Cabin stands as a duo forged in the fires of experience, emotion, and edge. The band is a sonic collaboration between two seasoned musicians whose individual legacies breathe life into a sound that's both evocative and unapologetically raw. Together, they form a storytelling engine built on grit, memory, and mood. With the slow-burn intimacy of a confessional ,Glass Cabin’s ‘I Don’t Know,’ is a stunning portrait of emotional ambiguity painted in shadows and soul. It’s a song that doesn’t try to be more than it is, and in that humility, it becomes something more, a mirror for those navigating the murky waters of loss and reflection."

GLASS CABIN DELIVERS EXCEPTIONAL MUSIC IN EPONYMOUS ALBUM 

WEAREYMX - UK 

 “It’s not often that we come across such gifted musicianship and refined songwriting. Nashville-based alt-country/Americana outfit Glass Cabin is the exception, exhibiting high-quality tracks with a chart-topping sound and inspired lyrical themes. 

Coming together in the creative whirlwind that is Nashville, the pair are able to deliver excellent music, putting them instantly on the map of most interesting newcomers, crafting poignant musical gems clothed in country formulas and pop sensibility. Glass Cabin is your new favourite country group. They are, trust us.”

From Illustrate Magazine, London:

"If I had to describe the tone of this band, it’s a tight whiskey drink filled with Americana and deeply rooted country melodies. Top drawer  music."

From Edgar Music  Poets:

 "Glass Cabin music is intense and solid. The arrangements are refined and perfect. Artists who have worked a lot in the studio and who have toured are able to leave us only the essentials. By doing so the songs take on a particular halo which makes them compelling.Their self-titled debut album is fantastic, every track is great, and the overall sound follows a rich, coherent thread. The execution and interpretation are dead on and the production flawless."

From Mesmerized Magzine - Jeremy Bregman

Glass Cabin Breathes New Life Into Fleetwood Mac’s ‘The Chain’


Towards  the end of last year  I fell in love with the album “Glass Cabin 2.” Crafted by Nashville singer/songwriter  Jess Brown and musician Dave Flint. This  rich and immersive LP blew me away.  

I found myself digging through their discography – and discovered an act I now count among 

my absolute favourite musical finds.

          Glass Cabin's latest offering is a stellar cover of Fleetwood Mac’s  ‘The Chain,’ - a daring and courageous undertaking that breathes  new  life into the iconic tune. Combining Jess’ rugged and country-infused vocals with David’s musicianship, the duo have struck  perfect chord between reverence for the original and their own distinctive sound.

                             Hard at work on a brand new LP, Glass Cabin never ceases to amaze me with their unique blend of innovation and heartfelt artistry. I just love them and can’t wait to hear what's next.

       Serious tune alert!

 

ROADIE  MAGAZINE :

"GLASS CABIN CAPTIVATES WITH MASTERFUL ALBUM "

...unique when it comes to their Americana sound. Not that country music is completely out of the duo's seductively alternative classic rock. 

...Hey O is one of those songs born with the irremediable status of an anthem...with roots riffs blending beautifully with the cohesive instrumental rocker footprint. 

...musical intensity can sound simple while simultaneously very well constructed in terms of arrangement. Vocals loaded with emotional intensity enrapture and subliminally lead this great song. 

...rootsy blues-rocker loaded with driving emotion and natural passion. 

...aspires to 60s intent immersed in the deepest roots of American music, where viscerality once again descends into an irresistible stanza. 

…another track that imposes its strength with classic airs, born with a penchant for absolute rock. The atmosphere of mystery that surrounds each step taken is largely cathartic, it is literally a blockbuster of a song. 

...a beautiful ballad denoting the simple and emotional side of Glass Cabin. A song that packs a captivating harmonica adding to Brown's solid vocals. 

From Music and Tour News:

"Glass Cabin's powerful first single, "Pray For Me, Pray For You," delivers deep, thought-provoking lyrics overlaid with a gorgeous folk drenched sonic backdrop that deftly weaves between country rock and Americana." 

BIOS:

JESS BROWN : Growing up in the Catskill Mountains, with roots reaching back to rural West Virginia, Jess spent his childhood hearing his mom's big band and classical records, and the Appalachian music his mechanic father played while tuning cars in his garage until his death at 42, when Jess was 9.

Dealing with the loss, Jess began writing at 12, turning to songs at 14 when he got his first guitar.  He covered Dylan, Kristofferson and Neil Young songs at coffee houses and with local bands. His first albums were The Animals, Rubber Soul, Me and Bobby McGee and Young’s ‘Harvest’ and ‘After the Gold Rush.’

Brown started skipping school, leaving home and living in his car. He hitchhiked into the southwest, sleeping in used car lots and under highway bridges, before winding up at a relative's in Las Cruces, New Mexico.  “ She was living in half a double wide trailer when she dropped me off at this bordello in Albuquerque and took off with this biker who looked like Elvis.” Brown returned the following summer, finding work framing  houses in Taos. 

“I was a bit of a nomad, just wandering around in my teens. There were a few close calls, but I was very lucky…and lucky to even graduate. I think I went into the military just to get a roof over my head for a couple years.”

At 20, he discovered his Irish roots after connecting with his dad's brothers who relayed dark, often comedic stories of Appalachian life. “My granddad's family worked the mines and ran moonshine, which can lead to smoking and drinking  at a young age….an occupational hazard of writing as well." 

Reclusive and a reticent performer, it was Jess’ wife who got him to go to Nashville. "I had a good job at a New York daily newspaper and Nashville seemed like such a long shot but l was lucky to sign with Almo Music and Barry Beckett (legendary Muscle Shoals Sound Studio co-founder and producer). Barry asked me what I was looking for and I jokingly said, 'A home.'  He smiled that big bear smile of his and gave me a writer’s room upstairs.”

While at Almo/Universal and EMI, Brown's songs were recorded by Trace Adkins and Julie Roberts (Break Down Here),  Lee Ann Womack (Little Past Little Rock, Now You See Me), Trisha Yearwood (I Need You), Tracy Lawrence (Coast Is Clear) Sara Evans (I Learned That From You), John M Montgomery (Cover You in Kisses, Rope the Moon), and Randall King (One Goodbye), landing on over 25 million albums, inclusion in the Top Road Songs and Grammy/CMA nominated albums. In 2012, Brown stepped away from Music Row to write solely from “The Shed," his home studio.

DAVID FLINT:  Hailing from upstate New York, Dave began taking piano lessons at age five. He reluctantly continued the lessons until he was ten when he got his first guitar. He continued to take both piano and guitar lessons until his parents realized he would stick with the guitar.

“I was learning on an acoustic guitar before I got my first electric which was some sort of an old pieced together Fender…then I got an Ibanez Les Paul copy and an Ibanez “Iceman” and then a Gibson Les Paul Deluxe. I wish I still had that Les Paul.”

He began playing in bands in the 9th grade, spending countless hours rehearsing in basements and garages of his and his bandmates homes.

“Like most kids learning guitar, one of my first influences were The Rolling Stones as well as The Beatles, The Eagles, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Van Halen.”

There were several incarnations of bands, but always with the same few people from school who were ‘players.’  Flint and the rest of the guys played at school dances, church functions, and at a local ‘teen’ club.  They entered a series of ‘Battle of the Bands’ where Flint says they won a few contests and lost a few.

As a senior in high school, Dave applied to music school in Boston, Massachusetts but then at the last minute decided he didn’t want to ‘teach’ music or live the uncertain life of a musician, - playing guitar for a living, so he decided to go to school for business while continuing to play music casually.

“After my first year of college, some guys from high school contacted me about joining their band “Southbound," which later became “Billy Montana and the Longshots.” The boys decided to record an independent album and try pitching it around Nashville. It caught the attention of the legendary Martha Sharp, VP at Warner Brothers at the time, which then led to the band signing an artist deal.

But the group disbanded and Dave moved to Nashville, winding up touring with several bands most notably the hit country group, Highway 101, touring with them for 8 years. A respected session musician, Dave continues playing in various Nashville studios, as well as producing artists at his home studio.

GLASS CABIN SELF-TITLED ALBUM IS OUT NOW | INDIE MUSIC I BANDS WE LIKE

By Chris Mariotti 

"Welcome to the Indie Music Corner. A space dedicated to the best new artists and bands we find around the web. Today’s featured duo is Glass Cabin and their self-titled album.

It is always impressive to note that when music is composed and produced by people with great experience, this experience exudes from the notes of their songs. Generally, artists at the early stages of their careers tend to fill the sound spectrum with many musical “colors.” Artists who have worked a lot in the studio and who have toured instead are able to leave only the essentials. By doing so the songs take on a particular halo which makes them very fascinating.

Glass Cabin's self-titled debut album is fantastic, every  track is great, and the sound  follows a coherent thread. The music is intense and solid...the arrangements are refined and polished, the  execution and interpretation are perfect and the production is flawless.  It is truly a pleasure to listen to Glass Cabin’s music because it makes you travel with your imagination and you feel free. A nice discovery that I recommend to everyone."

EXCLUSIVE PREMIERE: GLASS CABIN’S ‘PRAY FOR ME, PRAY FOR YOU’ VIDEO 

By Laura Klondowski - Music and Tour News

Americana/country duo Glass Cabin consisting of Jess Brown and Dave Flint are ready to take the scene by storm with the release of their powerful new single ‘Pray For Me, Pray For You’ which delivers deep, thought-provoking lyrics overlaid with a gorgeous folk drenched sonic backdrop that deftly weaves between country rock and Americana. 

The track is acting as the lead release off the pairs forthcoming studio album which is slated to drop next year with the record expected to include an eclectic fusion of genres such as rock, country, folk, roots, and Americana which collide to create a stylistic LP that is 100 percent their own. 

And it is a rousing introduction to the LP thanks to the overlay of electric guitar, banjo, mandolin, thumping drums, and luscious vocal harmonies that are steeped in old-school rock tradition. ‘Pray For Me, Pray For You’, is a wonderful way to kick-off this album campaign, and allows for Glass Cabin to deliver a little taste of what’s to come. 

With the official music video, the duo have put together a truly beautiful piece of art that brings to life the struggle of the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic showing how it has temporarily shut down the world as health experts find ways to slow the spread and get the virus under control. It is a touching, emotive visual.

Glass Cabin Self-Titled

 Nashville based Americana duo Glass Cabin is the brain child of successful singer-songwriter Jess Brown and session musician David Flint. 

A Grammy nominated song writer, Brown has written songs for Sara Evans, Lee Ann Womack, Trisha Yearwood and Julie Roberts. Flint’s previous life included co-founding country rock band Billy Montana and The Longshots, together with being a hired hand for numerous touring bands including Highway 101. His more recent work has been as a producer and studio session player at his home studio outside Nashville. 

Having worked together on albums for other artists, Nashville neighbours Brown and Flint decided to use some of the downtime imposed on them by the pandemic, to write and record their own album. 

The end result is a hugely rewarding eight-track record, which fuses country rock and folk, with a somewhat left of centre gothic edge.

 A plucked banjo and pounding drums open Hey O. What follows is a chanted recital, complete with handclaps, which sets the theme for some equally dark tunes that come next. Pray For Me and Opportunity also lean heavily into mysterious territory with rolling rhythms, handclaps, and cleverly overdubbed harmonies, all adding to the bewitching atmosphere. They take the foot off the gas on the slow burners Crazy Missing You and Feel Again before tailing off the album with the spiralling Final Day.

   This is hard edged heartland Americana at its finest. Dreamlike songs of unease and unrest play out like chapters from a Daniel Woodrell country noir novel, by a duo not afraid to challenge the tried and trusted.

Review by Declan Culliton

GRUBS AND GROOVES  by Mary Ann 

"Thirsty Thursday" Featuring Glass Cabin 

Thank you so much Jess for chatting with us today!

Jess: Sure, thanks for having me.

Mary Ann: So, what was the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given about pursuing a career in music?

Jess: Well, when my future father-in-law asked me what I was going to do to make a living. I told him I wanted to be a writer...maybe a journalist or a novelist or a songwriter. Maybe a playwright. At the time I was a house framer. He told me to pick one and focus all my energy on that one thing. He said, "when sunlight is focused through a magnifying glass, it can start a fire." 

Mary Ann: Looking back, what was the first album or “vinyl” you bought?

Jess: Well, I think I bought eight in one day... Kristofferson's Me and Bobby McGee,  Exile on Main Street, After The Gold Rush and Harvest, The Animals, Rubber Soul, Astral Weeks and The Band...all at a music store in Kingston, New York. Then a girlfriend played me Marvin Gaye's  'What's Going On' so I went back and got that and Wilson Pickett's  In The Midnight Hour the next time I got paid. 

Mary Ann: If you could have penned a song in a different genre what would it have been?

Jess: The Nashville Songwriter's Association has this thing where you pick songs you wished you had written…there's so many but I love "A Change Is Gonna Come" (Sam Cooke) and "Ain't No Sunshine" (Bill Withers). 

Mary Ann: What is one thing you can tell us that most people don’t know about you and might surprise us?

Jess:  When I was fifteen I left home and lived out of an old Dynamic 88 Oldsmobile parked in the woods by this lake. Only a couple of friends knew.  I told my kids years later that I was a nomadic kid about town. My son said, "So, you were homeless."  

Mary Ann: What’s the best advice you have ever gotten from another musician?

Jess: When I was unsigned I went to see songwriter Allen Shamblin ("I Can't Make You Love Me) at a writer's round at the Bluebird. He was kind enough to offer some advice. He said, "Write every day, all day, because a lot of pro writers take long lunches and then take the rest of the day off." I had always written but in Nashville I wrote like when I was framing houses. I set my Stanley hammer on my writing desk as a reminder of that hard work, and then I sat in a chair with my guitar - six days a week, sometimes seven, then l'd lay tracks at night at my friend's studio. It paid off. I had a song on the radio the following year. 

Mary Ann: Best food that comes in a can?

Jess: Hands down…King Oscar Wild Caught Sardines, Mediterranean Style. 

Mary Ann: Home cooking or going out for dinner?

Jess: Well, I'm married to a Sicilian girl, so I'm very partial to her cooking. Not only is she beautiful but her baked ziti is the best, and she could open her own restaurant with her fish tacos. My dad's from West Virginia so I do like cornbread  but I'd put my wife's up against any of them. 

Mary Ann: What is the best dish you ever had?

Jess: When I was in the Air Force in Denver, these fellas and I went camping along the Big Thompson River near Estes Park. We got up early to fly fish and caught some beautiful rainbow trout that we cleaned and grilled right there over a wood fire - along with a pan of scrambled eggs. To this day I still think about the sweet taste of that trout, with eggs and campfire coffee. 

Mary Ann: What’s on your pizza? Do you fold your pizza or eat it straight on? Ranch or no ranch?

Jess: Extra cheese. Coming from New York, I love pizza, and if it's thin crust I fold it. Every town back home has a family owned pizza parlor, like La Bella's in Valatie, NY.

Mary Ann: Since we're a food blog, we always ask artist's their food and drink preferences...what's your drink of choice?

Jess: Well, I'm not much of a drinker anymore, but when I did drink it was J&B. Now it's just an occasional  beer like Yuengling or Rolling Rock.
