Seth Glier (/ˈɡlɪər/) is an American singer-songwriter, pianist, guitarist, and activist.

Career

[edit]

Seth Glier was born in Shelburne Falls, MA.[1] and subsequently studied at Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter School PVPA in South Hadley, Massachusetts. He attended Berklee College of Music for a year before dropping out to be able to tour full-time. Since then, he has shared stages with artists such as James Taylor, Mark Knopfler, The Verve Pipe, Edwin McCain and Ani DiFranco.[2] He has appeared as a mainstage artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (NY) and the Kerrville Folk Festival (TX).[3] USA Today compared Seth to Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel.[4] He is also currently the musical director for Sophie B. Hawkins.[5]

In 2015, Glier released his fourth album, If I Could Change One Thing, on MPress Records. The album was considered a successful move into mainstream pop, a departure from his previous, more acoustic albums.[6] A music video for the title track, a duet with American Idol alum Crystal Bowersox, premiered on Billboard.com.[7]

In 2016, Glier gave a TEDx talk sharing his insight on the challenges and gifts of care giving for a family member, and how it influences his life, art and music.[8]

Glier's 2021 album The Coronation combines elements of folk, pop, and electronica[9] and explores themes of growth, forgiveness, and envisioning a better world.[10]

Awards

[edit]

Glier's 2011 album, The Next Right Thing, for which he recorded his own vocals[11] in his parents’ basement,[12] was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category of "Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical."[11]

In 2011, he took home Best Love Song for his track "Naia" at the 10th Annual Independent Music Awards.[13] In 2012, "Next Right Thing" won Best Social Action Song at the Independent Music Awards.[14]

Causes

[edit]

Glier has been an outspoken advocate for autism awareness. His song "Love Is A Language" was inspired by his nonverbal autistic brother.[15]

In 2018, Glier toured in Mongolia, China, and Ukraine as part of the American Music Abroad program, an initiative of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.[16] A 2020 tour of Mexico planned with the American Music Abroad program was canceled due to COVID-19.[10]
