Martin Rivas, former guitarist/singer with Serious Pilgrim, current guitarist/multiinstrumentalist with Jesse Gage and Otis, made his solo debut with 2000's Glorious. Originally tabbed as a giveaway disc at a 2000 friends/family reunion at a much-beloved Upstate New York mountain getaway, demand by Serious Pilgrim fans for copies of the disc grew to the point that Martin had no choice but to release it. Glorious celebrates Betty's Twisted Acres and the annual get-together of a bunch of good friends that takes place around Hall-of-Fame Weekend each summer. Sprinkled amongst the spoofs and tributes are some very strong compositions, most notably "Glorious," "Everything I Am," "Woodchuck Knoll," and "Wherever." "Giant Biscuit," a staple of Serious Pilgrim's shows in the mid-1990's, is also featured. If you're a real fan of Serious Pilgrim or Martin Rivas, you must have this disc. Martin continues to write and perform as part of Jesse Gage and Otis, whose debut album is being produced by Grammy award-winning John Seymour (Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Bouncing Souls). Martin plans to continue making steady-but-sporadic acoustic appearances throughout the Northeast United States.
