Glass Mountain Records: News

Welcome to Glass Mountain Records

Founded in Nashville in 2007, the label is committed to evolving naturally with the intent of taking on other passionate, dedicated artists in the future. We seek to free ourselves from the long shadow of the corporate umbrella and get back to making fresh, inspired, original music. Click here for more information about Glass Mountain Records founder.
