PITTSBURGH, PA – June 3, 2024 – The Patti Spadaro Band, led by the dynamic guitarist, singer, and songwriter Patti Spadaro, is thrilled to announce the release of their latest single, “Glass Shatters,” on June 8, 2024. This powerful anthem is a tribute to the strength and resilience of women, inspired by the historic swearing-in of the first female Vice President of the United States.
“Glass Shatters” began taking shape in the winter of 2020-2021, as Spadaro was moved by the significant moment in history. “I remember sitting by the TV and watching the swearing-in of our first female Vice President,” Spadaro recalls. “I was so excited to finally be represented in the second highest seat of our government. I wanted to celebrate this historic moment together. This was a true moment of progress.”
The song, which Spadaro describes as a “rallying cry,” is intended to unite women from all walks of life and celebrate their progress. “If we ‘keep rising up, never giving up,’ progress will continue,” she says. The track features five women’s voices harmonizing and weaving together, with Spadaro on guitar, Anne Celedonia on keys, and contributions from background vocalists Cherylann Hawk, Jill Simmons, and Alison McTavish. Drummer and recording engineer Eric Kurtzrock and bassist Ryan Black also add their unique talents to the mix.
