“I’m glad I’ve gotten as far as I have. I’m glad I’ve survived the industry and its changes, that I can still make a living playing shows and making records. And whenever I start to think maybe I shouldn’t do this, I try to remember that it’s no accident that I’ve written 150 songs, and people are still coming to shows. I’ll just keep doing this until I’m not doing it anymore.” - Melissa Ferrick

MPress Records has teamed up with BLURT Magazine to premiere the official music video for the title track off of singer-songwriter and 2011 Independent Music Award Winner Seth Glier's critically acclaimed "The Next Right Thing".
Directed by Zack Sweeney in the streets and subways of NYC, the video emulates the theme of the song with its organic feel and speaks to the simple yet powerful message in the song, which Culture Mob says "immediately resonates with its very present percussion and soulful, incendiary vocals. The song paves the way for the overarching theme of the album- doing the next right thing- thinking outside of yourself to change the world for the better despite life’s constant challenges."
BLURT recently ran a fantastic review of the record release on MPress Records in January 2011. They gave the album 7 stars and raved "...this material sounds like nothing if not classics in waiting...its the essence of perfection". Read the entire glowing review here.
