Christine Glass is an American singer-songwriter, married to Marc Byrd (of Hammock and Common Children fame).

Carey Marcus "Marc" Byrd is an American musician, writer, and producer best known as one-half of the post-rock/ambient duo Hammock, along with former Common Children band-mate Andrew Thompson.

Hammock (band) American band

Hammock is an American two-member ambient/post-rock band from Nashville, Tennessee. Hammock creates atmospheric music by combining orchestral arrangements with electronic beats, piano and droning guitar.

Common Children was an alternative rock band composed of Marc Byrd, Drew Powell, and Hampton Taliaferro. The band recorded three studio albums between 1996 and 2001. The first two, Skywire and Delicate Fade, were released on the now-defunct Tattoo record label, which signed the band after Dan Michaels and Gene Eugene heard them perform at the 1995 Cornerstone Festival. On December 28, 1996 the band recorded their only live album, Setlist, in Jacksonville Florida. The album had a very limited pressing and consisted of the entire Skywire album and two tracks from Delicate Fade. The CD was sold only at concerts and as it contained no over-dubs, showcased the band's talent. Andrew Thompson joined the band on tour after Delicate Fade and produced The Inbetween Time with Marc Byrd. Christine Glass also contributed to the songs "Always On The Outside" and "How Many Times," and contributed 'angelic vocals' for The Inbetween Time, released on Galaxy 21 Music.

She has released two solo albums, Human (1997 on Tattoo Records) and Love & Poverty (1999 on Rustproof Records). She formed a duo called GlassByrd with her husband and they released Open Wide This Window in 2003. Their single "Weight of the World" charted on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs and Hot Christian Adult Contemporary charts in 2003.

She has appeared on a number of albums by Hammock, providing background vocals.

Her song "My Love Will Get You Home" is frequently heard on a Chinese drama, Heart of Greed (溏心風暴) and the Israeli horror film, Big Bad Wolves, and is occasionally heard on many others.
