In Glasspirits, Abe plays drums, congas, bongos, cajon, keyboards and other percussion. Joanna Glass sings, plays acoustic and electric guitar, bass, keyboards and electric violin. The music varies a lot from song to song and is very current with the styles of music out today. They are currently booking shows and shooting music videos to promote a wide digital release of Mysteries of Rhythm in the Summer of 2017.
