Seth Glier CD is “Beautiful; Brilliant; Breathtaking—Sets the Bar High for 2011" — “Incredibly Poetic"
Single Hits #1 via ClearChannel Radio; Album Shows Early iTUNES Promise
22-Year Old Phenom Seth Glier Visits Local Hospitals and Shelters Prior to Concerts While on Tour
Singer Seth Glier has broken through with his sophomore CD, 'The Next Right Thing' - from universal rave reviews to sold-out concerts to cover stories of Entertainment sections to multiple television appearances, to a rousing radio chart build to a promising debut via iTUNES, Glier finds himself on an upward trajectory as the new year begins. Recent coverage has described the 1/11/11 album as “beautiful; brilliant; breathtaking"—Glier “channels Billy Joel." With his soaring falsetto and sensitive songwriting, Glier delivers songs that are “as complex and suggestive as the best of the poets." Listen to a streaming sampler of the MPress Records release, here
The album's first single 'Lauralee' has shot up ClearChannel's 'NEW! Discover & Uncover' Chart to Number ONE!—this is, by far, the greatest response Glier has ever generated at radio. On iTUNES, the album debuted in their Top 100, and was featured in the 'New and Noteworthy' section of their Home page, two weeks in a row. An iTUNES Editorial Review will run soon. Look for Glier to deliver a rousing, televised performance of 'Lauralee,' complete with over a dozen back-up singers, when he returns to THE CW NETWORK/WGN- TV for a live appearance on February 8th. On February 21st, Glier will return to FOX-TV to coincide with a tour stop in Birmingham.
More about Seth Glier
Singer-songwriter Glier's powerful, silky voice catches you off guard, like the first time you heard Simply Red's Mick Hucknall sing 'Holding Back The Years.' The prodigious 22-year old's diverse music showcases his soaring falsetto, as well as a Cat Stevens-esque style of hushed storytelling.
Boston-based Glier was raised on the music of James Taylor, Randy Newman & Joni Mitchell. In 2010 he was invited to perform with his idol James Taylor, and shared stages with such diverse artists as Edwin McCain, Mark Knopfler, The Verve Pipe and Livingston Taylor. Edwin McCain enjoyed Seth so much that he contributed backing vocals on “I Don't Need You" (THE NEXT RIGHT THING, 2011) and raved “If any of you are wondering what the future of music will look like, Seth is it." Since the release of MPRESS debut “The Trouble With People" in late 2009, singer-songwriter Seth Glier has learned a lot more about the impact of music on his community, his fans and himself. Coming into his own as writer & performer, Glier is making his name on the national scene, and has appeared as a mainstage artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival and the Kerrville Folk Festival.
