Singer-songwriter joins forces with Musicians On Call & local charities for fall tour

NEW YORK–Songsmith, altruist & environmentalist, Seth Glier combines all his passions for his run this fall. The "Light It Up, Let It Go Tour" kicks off in NYC at the Rockwood Music Hall on Sept. 24th and includes music from his forthcoming release "The Next Right Thing" (MPress Records - 2011), as well as highlights from his current album "The Trouble With People". In addition, the tour will feature special "Light It Up" events that make this different from any other tour.

Glier, who joined forces with Musicians On Call earlier this year for his "Rock For Rooms Residency" is partnering up with them again for his fall tour. The impact that visiting & performing for patients in clinics has had on the singer, inspired the premise for this tour. "For me, the 'Light It Up, Let It Go Tour' is about renewing and regenerating oneself. It's about letting go of the stage lights, monitor mixes, dressing rooms, and tour gear and using pure simple music to light up the people and places who need it the most," said Glier.

   

Cynthia Alexander Live in New York

NEW YORK–Cynthia Alexander is a singer-songwriter known for her prose poetry, alternate guitar tunings, captivating performances, and her ability to connect with her audience on a deeply personal level. Her songs—lyrically playful yet haunted by melancholy—explore the paradoxes of life and love.

Fiercely independent and never afraid to take artistic risks, Cynthia is regarded as among the brave, pioneering female artists by those most familiar with her work.

Cynthia’s music can be described as “free folk,” defined by Utne magazine as “musicians who ignore genres, push instruments to the limit, fuse odd new sounds with familiar strains, and otherwise stretch the limitations of the folk ‘thing.’” Her songwriting reflects the classical influences of her childhood (the Chopin her father used to blast through the house, the Bach she taught herself to play on the piano) and those of her coming of age as a young musician (Joni Mitchell, Paul Simon, Peter Gabriel, Eartha Kitt, the Beatles, Leonard Cohen.) Her sound is rich with jazz and world inflections and the strings, guitar and piano that circle her words. It has been described as "wonderfully complex" and "reminiscent of the best of Joni Mitchell."
