The sound
The musical character
Granite to Glass is a Brooklyn-based project led by multi-instrumentalist Jon Kohen. Known for its string-rich indie folk and cinematic chamber pop arrangements, the duo or small ensemble layers acoustic guitars, lush strings, and intimate storytelling to create a sound that feels both timeless and contemporary. The project has earned recognition for its craft and emotional resonance, including a standout entry in NPR’s Tiny Desk Contest in 2020 and the release of a full orchestral LP and subsequent albums.
