The sweet sound of ‘Lauralee’ wafts down a hospital hallway. The rooms are filled with sick and dying patients. A young man with an incredible range sings sweetly to a child who has a few weeks to live. This will be her first and last live concert. Perhaps this is a strange place to hear live music, but 22 year old singer/songwriter Seth Glier plays at AIDS clinics, Children’s and VA hospitals, through a program called Musicians on Call. He began this work while touring because he is ‘bringing music to people who need it the most.’
Currently touring to promote recently released “The Next Right Thing” in his Prius with his guitar player Ryan Hommel, Glier explains the two met at a blues bar when they were a mere 14 years old. Together they share a love of music with soul or ‘storytelling pop’ tunes. The two marked 250 shows in 2010, and this year should be even greater in numbers. Music videos for ‘Lauralee’ and ‘Walk Katie Home’ will be out in March.
