Seth Glier, a singer-songwriter with a GRAMMY nomination and five Independent Music Award wins, is making waves again. Notably, he’s also a Cultural Diplomat for the US State Department. His latest single, “Rise,” serves as a powerful call to action. It urges us to protect our environment by restoring the ecosystem that sustains us. The song’s message is timely, and you can listen to below. Accompanying the music is a video featuring rescue pups Ella and Maxine.
Seth Glier is committed to using his songwriting as a force for positive change. Beyond his musical pursuits, he’s also an avid mushroom forager. His aim is to channel nature’s longing for connection with humanity into his music. He delves into themes like ice cores, uplift and erosion, tree rings, and even woolly mammoths. “Rise” isn’t just a song; it’s a contribution to Trout Unlimited, a non-profit organization dedicated to conserving and restoring America’s cold water fisheries and watersheds.
Seth Glier’s perspective on addressing climate change is unique. He sees “rewilding” as a way to say yes to nature. This approach involves restoring ecosystems and harmonizing with nature. It could mean reintroducing missing species or allowing wildlife to move freely across protected areas. “Rise” is just the beginning of this endeavor, and its message is both bold and refreshing.
As Seth Glier continues his journey, he’s embarking on a fall tour with stops in various cities including Austin, Nashville, New York City, and Chicago. His dynamic musicality has taken him around the world, collaborating with artists from different countries. He’s shared the stage with renowned musicians like James Taylor, Ani DiFranco, and Glen Campbell. Beyond his music, Glier is an advocate for autism awareness, inspired by his autistic brother Jamie.
