SETH GLIER: Why

Seth Glier

Why

© 2004 Seth Glier (634479099519)

A contemporary blues artist with a unique flare of a pop/jazz background. A voice that can glide in angelic falsetto one moment and turn quickly into a raspy yell in the next.

notes

"When it come down to Seth Glier's music, either you love it or you've never heard it before."

- CD Baby

"When he opens his mouth, it seems like his entire body is a resonating chamber. A rich baritone fills the room..."

- Valley Advocate

"His voice just seems to tickle your spine."

- Tower Records

Seth Glier, a singer-songwriter/pianist, is an engaging, innovating, and powerful performer. Seth's blend of smooth contemporary blues, and intelligent pop/rock music delivers a feeling inside your stomach. Writers like Jane Flecher have written comparisons such as, "If Joni Mitchell and Billy Joel had a baby, and Ani Defranco was the babysitter, the kid would turn out like this. Billy Joel's Piano, Ani's Lyrics, and Joni's Voice to kill."

The energy, passion, and expansive artistic talent Seth brings to his live performance leaves fans and listeners alike talking for day's after his shows. As Tower Records put it, "His lyrics don't just tell stories; they paint a masterpiece of pictures. The pictures are fresh, vibrant, and thoughtful."

In the summer of 2003 and 2004, Seth was a teacher of music at Camp Kee-wanee during the day, while performing in coffee houses at night. A master songsmith, composer,pianist, this 16 year old has taken many of his musical influences from such artists as Martin Sexton, Joni Mitchell, and Jamie Cullum.

Two years ago, Seth was a top ten competitor in the VALLEY IDOL competition held by Pioneer Arts Center of Easthampton (P.A.C.E). The following year he won the competition. Seth has been playing at renown venues' such as MASS MoCA, Energy Park, P.A.C.E, Ballard's Night Club, and The Iron Horse Music Hall, just to name a few.

Seth has been selling out venues within Western Mass,including his SOLD OUT show at the Iron Horse Music Hall (first time in the venue). Seth's album has been a hit among listeners since its release in late August of 2004. "The CD showcases his energy and creativity, and addresses the social, political, and economic problems within the world today," says The Recorder.

His original compositions are ones that engage not only your ears, but also your mind. His voice is one that cannot be matched, a master of dynamics. He silences the room with his blustering baritone, then teases it with his fluttering falsetto. He takes his audience to a place that is unknown without Seth's intoxicating groove. Seth realizes that it is necessary to look at all aspects of success. His favorite quote, "It is nice to be important, but it is important to be nice."

  • Killer Lyrics
    author: Margret McFanch

    It is so rare to see a great musician with great lyrics to go with it. Seth's lyrics are some of the most poetic lyrics every. Even though his lyrics are very poetic, he is very masculine.

  • THIS IS THE KID!!!!!!!!!! PRODIGY
    author: Mark Christian-Peeler

    I have been hearing talk about this kid for months. I have seen his name everywhere and have heard wonders about his CD and live performances. He reminds me of a young Jeff Buckley except he writes better and is more entertaining. Word on the street is that he's going to be coming out with a new CD this summer. I'm in much antisipation.

    If Joni Mitchell and Billy Joel had a baby and Ani Defranco was the babysitter, the kid would turn out like this. Billy Joel's Piano, Ani's Lyrics, and Joni's Voice. This guy is Great!

  • Amazing Performer and Great on his CD
    author: Gretchen Willis

    Seth is one of those performers who demands your attention. He reminds me of a cross between Martin Sexton and Bill Joel. I listened to Seth when I was at Mass Moca in North Adams MA. I just bought his CD it is amazing! The agangments are incredable. He is one of those rare artists that bring you into their music. He's only 16?

  • HIS VOICE MELTS YOU AND HIS LYRICS ENGAGE YOU
    author: Jim Grant

    I saw Seth at the Historic Memorial Hall Theater in Shelburne Ma. I went to see the Micheal Moore Movie Farenhiet 9-11. To My surprise, there was this long haired kid on stage belting out notes like josh Groban, singing lyrics as a Bob Dylan, Questioning the World, and Dancing his fingers across his piano. Seth got three standing ancoresn that night. His first was with his origional song Why, second with his version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow, and finally with his a cappella agrangment of America the Beautiful,which brote most of the 520(maxing the firecode) people to tears. It is amazing how he crosses the lines of what a normal person is suppose to sing. I had the pleasure of meeting this young musician. This 5 foot musiacian met people and signed cds like a pro. It is SOOOOOOOOO nice to see talented people who are not full of themselves. Seth is one of those humble people. Get his cd, it is worth it
