Phil Keaggy Reunites with Glass Harp at BB King's in New York City

 Legendary Christian recording artist and world-renowned guitar maestro Phil Keaggy recently performed in New York City at BB King's Blues Club and Grill in Times Square. During the show, the guitarist was joined onstage in a rare guest appearance by drummer John Sferra and bassist Daniel Pecchio of Glass Harp, the three-piece rock band with which Keaggy recorded three albums on Decca Records in the '70s. During the two-hour show, Keaggy entertained the audience with both acoustic and electric guitars, featuring selections from his current CD, Live From Kegworth Studio.

Of Keaggy's performance, Bert Saraco in a show review published in The Phantom Toolbooth, writes "Phil stepped onstage with his acoustic guitar, JamMan, and a small table with his various 'toys' and treated the room full of New Yorkers and wide-eyed tourists to a half-hour of the kind of guitar wizardry found on his recent Live From Kegworth Studio project. Utilizing every technique known to any pair of guitarist's hands, Phil filled the room with layer upon layer of sound, including vocal and percussion effects."

When Sferra and Pecchio joined Keaggy onstage, the musicians treated the audience to Glass Harp repertoire, as well as improvisation.

"All three men shared vocal harmonies…and of course each is a master of their respective instruments," Saraco says.

In the review, Saraco, who calls the show "a rare treat," said Keaggy and company left its audience having witnessed "that special symbiosis that musicians sometimes share, creating sounds that charge the room with an energy that exists only for that special moment."
