Crys Matthews & Seth Glier

Award-winning singer-songwriters Crys Matthews and Seth Glier come together at Caffè Lena for an evening of powerful storytelling, exceptional musicianship, and songs that challenge us to think, feel, and hope.

Nashville-based Crys Matthews is one of the most compelling voices in contemporary folk and Americana. Blending country, folk, blues, and bluegrass, she writes with remarkable honesty about identity, justice, love, and belonging. Her album Reclamation celebrates her Southern roots while challenging the boundaries of who gets to claim a place in country music, communities of faith, and the American South. A dynamic performer with a powerful voice, Matthews believes music can amplify unheard voices and help bring people together.

Seth Glier, a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter from Western Massachusetts, finds inspiration in the natural world. An avid mushroom forager and endlessly curious musician, Glier explores our relationship with the planet on his album Everything, offering songs about rewilding, regenerative farming, and the resilience of nature. His music replaces environmental despair with practical optimism and a belief in our ability to create positive change.

A five-time Independent Music Award winner, Glier has shared stages with James Taylor, Ani DiFranco, and Glen Campbell, worked as a cultural diplomat for the U.S. State Department, and used songwriting to connect with students, veterans, and communities around the world.

The two artists already share a musical connection, with Matthews appearing on Glier's album Everything. Together, they bring different perspectives but a common purpose: to use music to connect people, spark conversation, and inspire hope.
