Grammy Nomniated Singer-songwriter Seth Glier Raises $8k For Autism Speaks
MPress Records artist Seth Glier has raise over $8,000 for non-profit organization Autism Speaks. The Grammy nominated multi-instrumentalist spent his 2013 CD release tour for Things I Should Let You Know raising awareness for the organization with which he has a personal connection. “My older brother Jamie is autistic. I want to help spread awareness and raise funds that help organizations like Autism Speaks to make life easier, promote inclusion and equality for autistic individuals and their families.”
On his own, Seth has raised $8,000 for the organization. Through the text-to-donate numbers that he helped set up, which are compatible with all of the major cell phone service providers, Autism Speaks continues to raise funds by sharing those text codes with other spokespersons.
Right after Memorial Day, Seth joins Grammy Award winner Edwin McCain for shows in Michigan, Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. Then hits the road with American-rock n’ roll songwriter Stephen Kellogg for a weeklong stint on the East Coast. His touring schedule continues to grow with new dates added though 2014 and a spot on the bill for the Cayamo Cruise 2014. A unique musical experience, Cayamo takes concertgoers aboard the Norwegian Pearl cruise ship in Miami and travels to the British Virgin Islands. Seth joins the lineup with artists such as John Prine, Brandi Carlile, Ricky Skaggs & Bruce Hornsby and more, for the 7th edition of Cayamo February 7-14, 2014.
