Seth Glier & RJ Cowdery Did It Up Right

On Saturday night, my wife and I saw Seth Glier perform at the local listening room. He and his gang of two other musicians, Joe Nerney on sax and Marc Seedorf on bass, brought down the house. 

The style ranged from contemporary takes on 1980's popular jazz-inflected styles to old-timey and street corner a cappella songs. 

The crowd in the room, about 120 of us, fell in love instantly with the trio in their black suits and skinny ties. Seth's uses his voice to great effect, ranging from pure tenor to clean falsetto in the same musical phrase. 

As one might expect, the song with the single greatest audience response is the one he called his "cheapest song," called "It's a Bitch When You Find Your Couch on Craigslist (And You Didn't List It)." It's a break-up song.

RJ Cowdery, singer-songwriter was a great opening act. She gave us strong lyrics, clear and powerfully musical voice, and was well-supported on the solid foundation of her guitar.

Give them a look-see below, and go out to enjoy a show if they're near you some time.
