Seth Glier Ended Up With "Walk Katie Home"

MPress Records & USA Today have premiered the music video for the talented singer/pianist Seth Glier's new single "Walk Katie Home" from his critically acclaimed album "The Next Right Thing," which isn't just an album title – it's a way of life. Glier, a boyishly handsome folk/pop singer, shows off his velvety voice and lyrical prowess in his sophomore project. The rising folk sensation set out to document the ways in which he and the people he encounters on the road, attempts to do "the next right thing, as opposed to the next thing right."
The emerging folk/pop troubadour fantasizes wistfully on this new catchy tune about a star-crossed romantic liaison with a certain girl in New York that's simply not meant to be. The easy-to-grasp melody, however, is the real thing, and the delivery from the Massachusetts-based singer rings true. He says the song is a reflection on what he wishes had happened: "I drove down to St. Marks Place in New York City one weekend to take a girl I had a crush on out to dinner," he recalls. "I ended up walking her home, and then she started dating a glockenspiel player. That's life, I guess." This is a young man with a distinctive voice, a falsetto that sticks to your ribs, and can he write songs.
Shot on a freezing cold day this past March at the strikingly beautiful Beacon Theater in New York, the Tom Moore-directed video boasts grand sweeping images of the gorgeous theater mixed with shots of NYC, the second character in this unabashedly romantic and tender love song. Featuring Glier and his love interest "Katie" played by up-and-coming actress Carissa Dagenais, the emotion of the video was heightened by Glier's visible breath in the performance shots at the ice-cold theater.
The 22-year-old will grab your attention with fearless vocal delivery, musical exuberance and seasoned songwriting beyond his years, if not with his powerful falsetto or his melodic prowess, then with what Performer Magazine calls his "intoxicating groove." Glier, who's winning legions of fans with his romantic ballads and moving lyrics, wants to touch people with his verse and music. "I'm an ambassador," he says. "I travel from place to place carrying my songs and stories with me, and I want people to leave my show changed. Some people won't remember the songs I sing, but they will remember how they felt while hearing them. That's what I want to do – to remind people, including myself, why we're here: to connect!"
