Based in Nashville, TN, roots-rock band Glass Cabin was formed by studio musician David Flint and singer/songwriter Jess Brown. After a decade of co-producing other artists, the two began collaborating on their own project at the onset of the pandemic, resulting in the self-titled debut album, "Glass Cabin," and the release of their first single and official video, "Pray For Me, Pray For You." The full album is scheduled to be released October 1st, 2021.
As a writer for Almo/Universal and EMI, Brown worked primarily in country and Americana, writing songs for artists like Lee Ann Womack (A Little Past Little Rock), Trisha Yearwood (I Need You), John Michael Montgomery (Cover You In Kisses), Sara Evans (I Learned That From You), Trace Adkins and Julie Roberts (Break Down Here) which the New York Times called “an instant classic.” With more than 25 gold and platinum certifications, inclusion in the Top 100 Road Songs and several Grammy and CMA nominated albums, his songs appear on over 25 million cds.
Both hailing from upstate New York and nearby Catskill Mountains, a longtime folk music hotspot, Flint was a founding member and lead guitarist with country rock band, Billy Montana and the Longshots, which led to them signing an artist deal at Warner Brothers Records with legendary Martha Sharp, Warner’s VP at the time, in charge of finding new talent. Flint later decided to move to Nashville, touring with numerous groups, most notably the hit country group Highway 101, before turning his attention to producing and studio session work.

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 overlayed 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.

Nashville based Americana duo Glass Cabin is the brain child of successful 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.
