The Opera House at Boothbay Harbor
86 Townsend Avenue, PO Box 800

07/01/2017 | 7:30 pm – 9:30 pm

The show begins at 7:30 PM. Doors for seating open at 7:00 PM. Advance tickets $20, day of show $25. The Opera House stage has welcomed Seth Glier for several years, and his growth as a musician, and his very humanity, has never failed to enrapture our audience. Despite his relatively young age, recording artist Seth Glier is a seasoned troubadour. A singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist who averages over 250 live performances annually, Seth has gone from opening act to headlining his own shows and playing major festivals. He’s shared the stage with artists as diverse as James Taylor, Mark Knopfler, Ani DiFranco, Edwin McCain, Martin Sexton, Emmylou Harris and Ryan Adams, and has quickly become known for his passionate live sets and powerful command of both piano and guitar. His music has also caught the ears of fans, industry and critics alike, with USA Today stating that his “exquisite tenor echoes Bruce Springsteen and Billy Joel.” Building on the acclaim of his Grammy®-nominated sophomore album The Next Right Thing, Glier’s subsequent record Things I Should Let You Know was called “a genuine revelation” by Blurt Magazine, and was praised by M Music & Musicians Magazine for its “shimmering, seductive melodies”. Celebrate Independence Day Weekend with this independent musician, who sings what he feels, and makes us all think. Sponsored by Boothbay Harbor Framers
