Joel Stein wanted to push his sonic and creative ambitions further and, because of this desire, has crafted some exquisite in Glassmaps. Transitioning from band-mode to solo work. He talks about the latest single, “Summer Rain” the debut, in fact. A glimpse into its themes, sound and importance.

Often praised and respected for his unique style of playing, Joel gained quite the name for himself wolrldwide.
