==2000β2009== On October 22, 2000<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.pkfans.com/glassharp/disc-sa.html |title=Glass Harp Album Info - Strings Attached |publisher=Pkfans.com |date= |accessdate=April 3, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120317160239/http://www.pkfans.com/glassharp/disc-sa.html |archive-date=March 17, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Glass Harp gave a sold out performance in their hometown of Youngstown, Ohio at Powers Auditorium. Joining the band for the occasion was conductor [[Isaiah Jackson (conductor)|Isaiah Jackson]] and members of the [[Youngstown Symphony Orchestra]]. The following year saw the commercial release of the reunion concert in the form of the live double album ''Strings Attached''. Although the album is largely devoted to the band's previous work, it also includes Glass Harp's take on several songs from Phil's solo career such as "Tender Love," "Chalice," "From the Beginning" and a solo acoustic version of "The True Believers." In the summer of 2003, the group released ''Hourglass'', their first new studio album in 31 years. Well received by fans and critics alike, the album drew on various musical styles that demonstrated Glass Harp's many influences and individual talents. In October, Glass Harp made a second appearance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, again featuring a performance and a Q&A moderated by Rock Hall curator James Henke.<ref>{{cite web |last=Petelin |first=Joe |url=http://www.pkfans.com/glassharp/2003-10-26/index.html |title=Glass Harp at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame |publisher=pkfans.com |year=2003 |accessdate=April 4, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120205031746/http://www.pkfans.com/glassharp/2003-10-26/index.html |archive-date=February 5, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 2004 the band went on a short U.S. tour in support of their triple-live album ''Stark Raving Jams'' (a collection of various live instrumental and improvisational material from throughout their career). The album/tour served to successfully re-introduce Glass Harp into the [[jam band]] scene, in which they are now considered a pioneering group. In 2004, guitarists Greg Martin (of the [[Kentucky Headhunters]]) and [[Rick Derringer]] joined Glass Harp on stage at the Dallas International Guitar Festival.<ref name="pkfans2006">{{cite web |url=http://www.pkfans.com/glassharp/2006-04-23/index.php |title=Glass Harp at the Dallas Guitar Show, Dallas, TX - April 23, 2006 |publisher=Pkfans.com |date= |accessdate=April 3, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120419042752/http://www.pkfans.com/glassharp/2006-04-23/index.php |archive-date=April 19, 2012 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Martin again appeared with Glass Harp at the same festival in 2006.<ref name="pkfans2006"/> Glass Harp's original Decca studio albums were re-issued on CD in 2005 by Music Mill Entertainment (having first been released on CD in 1993 by Line Records in Germany before quickly going out of print). These releases were remastered with bonus tracks and updated liner notes. As of early 2012, the three Glass Harp titles on Music Mill have gone out of print,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.facebook.com/glassharp/posts/369998186376213 |title=The 2005 CD versions of... |publisher=Facebook |date= |accessdate=April 12, 2012}}</ref> and are not yet available for digital purchase. In 2009, Sferra and Pecchio teamed up with Keaggy, [[Randy Stonehill]] and guitarist Mike Pachelli as "The Keaggy-Stonehill Band" and played a few dates in support of Keaggy and Stonehill's album ''Mystery Highway''. During the 2000s, Glass Harp's touring groups included (at various times) diverse instrumentation such as trumpets, trombones, saxophones, mandolins and violins. Most frequently, the band is joined by keyboardist Chris Queen, formerly of the [[Athens, Georgia]], [[funk]] band Mr. Tibbs (a group which also included [[Ted Pecchio]], Daniel Pecchio's son, on bass).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/mr__tibbs |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120714022452/http://rateyourmusic.com/artist/mr__tibbs |url-status=dead |archive-date=July 14, 2012 |title=Albums by Mr. Tibbs |publisher=Rate Your Music |accessdate=April 3, 2012 }}</ref>{{deprecated source|certain=y|date=November 2024}}
