On August 25th, 2017 GRAMMY®-nominated singer/songwriter Seth Glier will release Birds, the follow up to his 2015 critically acclaimed If I Could Change One Thing. In early 2016, Seth gave a TEDx Talk in which he discussed how gratitude is not a state of peace for arrival, but a bitter battle for balance and reason. This was inspired after losing his brother Jamie to severe autism and led to the start of the writing of Birds. In keeping with matters close to his heart, Seth also tackles a few social issues on Birds. “Water on Fire” tears into fracking while “Justice For All” challenges the death penalty. A powerful, primal cover of the Buffalo Springfield classic “For What It’s Worth” rounds out the collection.
The artist will be hitting the road for a headlining U.S. tour kicking off at the Kerrville Fall Festival in Kerrville, TX (Full Dates Below). Seth will be making stops in these major cities: New York, Philadelphia, Boston and Chicago.
Additionally, Seth has collaborated with Pledge Music to officially launch his pre-order campaign for Birds. Fans will be able to access uniquely branded experiences and Pledge-only exclusives with each pre-order of the album. Pledge will also be hosting Seth at their NYC offices for a Pledge Music Session performance on June 27 in support of the campaign.
Glide is proud to premiere the song and performance video for “I’m Still Looking” from Glier’s forthcoming Birds. Glier sings with a quiet strength reminiscent of Damien Rice and Jeff Buckley roped with an altogether refreshing candidness rarely heard these days.
“I wrote “I’m still looking” a few months after my brother passed away and I kept witnessing things that reminded me of him. It’s difficult to tell whether these “signs” were sent down for me to receive or just stuff happening all the time” says Glier. “Death has a way of making us pay attention to life and I’ve found that there is much more beauty and magic in simply looking without the quest for meaning.”
