His innate curiosity and fierce desire to connect with other people have served Seth Glier well as he has traveled the globe as a singer-songwriter. On Wednesday, Aug. 20, Seth Glier returns to Boothbay Harbor to perform at the historic Opera House.

Seth is a five-time Independent Music Award winner and received a Grammy nomination for his album "The Next Right Thing." With a commitment to using songwriting as a tool for positive change, he has written with the students in Parkland, FL for the “Parkland Project,” cowritten with soldiers at Walter Reed, and is an advocate for autism awareness citing his autistic brother Jamie as his greatest non-musical-musical influence.

Serving as a cultural diplomat for the US State Department he has collaborated with musicians in Ukraine, Mongolia, China, and Mexico. He’s shared the bill with a diverse list of artists ranging from Ronnie Spector to James Taylor, from Ani DiFranco to Glen Campbell. As a producer, music director, or studio musician he has collaborated with Sophie B. Hawkins, Tom Rush, Antje Duvekot, Richard Shindell, Doctora Qingona, Dar Williams, Nick Carter and Cyndi Lauper.

Seth Glier first appeared at the Opera House at the invitation of Livingston Taylor, his professor at Berklee School of Music in Boston, and on that night he so dazzled the audience that they gave the young Seth a standing ovation. The audience has never forgotten him and requests regular appearances.
