Seth Glier Releases Timely Environmental Call To Action with New Single/Video “Rise”

NEW YORK, NY — August 22, 2023 — Seth Glier, the GRAMMY-nominated and five-time Independent Music Award winning singer-songwriter who also serves as a Cultural Diplomat for the US State Department has returned with a timely call to action in his new single, “Rise.” PRESS HERE to listen to the track that serves as a battle cry for protecting our land and rivers by rewilding and restoring the ecosystem that supports us all, and HERE to watch the coinciding video that features rescue pups Ella and Maxine. With a commitment to using songwriting as a tool for positive change, Glier – who is also an avid mushroom forager – has set out on a path to channel nature’s longing for communion with humanity into songs about ice cores, uplift and erosion, tree rings, woolly mammoths and more. “Rise” is being released in support of Trout Unlimited, the national non-profit organization dedicated to conserving, protecting and restoring America’s cold water fisheries and their watershed.

“Efforts to fight climate change are quite often about saying no,” said Seth Glier. “Rewilding is different. It is about saying yes. In some places rewilding might look like putting the bends back into the river before it was straightened for agriculture so fish and ducks can build their nests and lay their eggs in the calmer water. In other places rewilding might mean reintroducing missing species. Rewilding requires human beings and communities to be in concert with nature; not just managing it, but activity participating in restoring the ecosystem that supports all of us. Imagine every national park connected by wild corridors so predators like bears and wolves could migrate freely across North America and be able to return to the places they have too long been estranged from.”

The artist will tour throughout the fall – making stops in Austin, Nashville, New York City, Chicago and more. Full routing can be found below, and tickets are on-sale now by visiting https://sethglier.com/shows.
