Seth Glier, Anthony Da Costa opens
MPress recording artist Seth Glier will grab you...if not with his powerful falsetto or his melodic prowess, then with what Performer Magazine calls his “intoxicating groove.” The 22-year-old singer, pianist and guitarist – who abandoned studies at The Berklee College of Music after one year because he “decided [he] should be playing for people and not for grades” – aims straight for the gut & has quickly established himself on the national scene performing over 250 shows a year. In 2010, Glier shared stages with such diverse artists as James Taylor, Mark Knopfler, The Verve Pipe, and Edwin McCain. He has appeared as a mainstage artist at the Falcon Ridge Folk Festival (NY) and the Kerrville Folk Festival (TX), and was recently compared to Bruce Sprinsteen and Billy Joel by USA TODAY. http://sethglier.com/
At the ripe age of twenty-one and as a junior at Columbia University, Anthony da Costa embarked on the release of Secret Handshake April 10, 2012. In 2009, Anthony was named an MSNBC.com "Top 5 Up-&-Coming Young Singer" and a "WFUV-FM New Artist To Watch". In 2008, he released two critically acclaimed albums and was a Folk Alliance "Emerging Artist of the Year" nominee. In 2007, at 16, he became the youngest winner ever at the Falcon Ridge and Kerrville Folk Festivals. In the words of Louis Meyers of Folk Alliance, “Think Bob Dylan and John Lennon. He's the kind of fresh blood we need.” http://anthonydacosta.com/
