The Seventh Hour is a band whose music showcases a unique blend of
Rock, Heavy Metal and Soul. Their new breed of Rock and Roll is poised
and ready to take the music world by storm. Soulful vocals and heavy
guitar riffs combined with rock solid bass and drums make for a
signature sound that refuses to be denied.
Twin brothers Todd "O'Riley" Garner and Troy Garner left their roots
in the South Side of Chicago at the age of seven not anticipating the
musical journey ahead of them. Graduating from Los Angeles County High School for the Arts (LACHSA) the twin’s talents did not go unnoticed. They soon found themselves at the side of the legendary Lenny Kravitz who led them around the world singing backup vocals on his "Circus" tour. Todd remembers sitting on the tour bus playing one of his own songs when Lenny told him, "Turn that off for a second." Todd recalls, "Lenny picked up his acoustic guitar and had me sing along. It was amazing how different the same melody sounded over his guitar."
After the Circus tour, the twins began writing their own songs and
formed the band Seven's Door, which landed a recording contract with
Capitol Records. Even without an album release, the company's
confidence in the group gave the twins the push to help start The
Seventh Hour. Their eponymous first CD release showcases the brothers'
unique mixture of R&B, rock and metal sensibilities, inspired by many
of their heroes such as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Lenny Kravitz and
Sevendust.
After becoming fascinated by the band KISS, Tim Kleiman got his first
guitar at age 5. After studying classical violin in elementary school
he soon began playing electric guitar, bass and drums in various groups.
Tim lived in Seattle during the grunge era, playing in such bands as
Ready, Willing and Abel, Primal Order and Alter Eden. He also recorded
and toured with renowned Tucson based jam band Spirit Union Revival
throughout the mid- to late 1990s. The Los Angeles native has a
bachelor's degree in music and currently teaches guitar and bass
lessons.
Trevor Thornton began playing drums at the age of seven and started
playing professional gigs at 12. His album credits include Asia's
"Asia--Live in Osaka", Q-Feel's "Orbital Be-Bop", and John Vidor's
"Blue Flux Deluxe". He has toured internationally, playing with
diverse acts including Walk on Fire, Kim Wilde, One Nation and
Locomotives. He has also sat in sessions with Def Leppard, Dexy's
Midnight Runners, Flock of Seagulls, and Lynx. He has taught master
classes at NAMM, the British Music Fair, the Frankfurt Messe and the
Scottish Music Fair.
Rick Zaccaro got his first bass guitar at the age of 13 and
immediately honed his craft playing along with entire Rush and Led
Zeppelin records. Rick played in various bands and eventually became a
founding member of the band Green Vinyl Dream. The group released two records and enjoyed some success with their hit single
"Kaleidoscope", touring with the likes of Linkin Park and Pat Benatar.
After the group had disbanded Zaccaro answered an ad placed by
guitarist Tim Kleiman, who was looking for musicians to collaborate
with. A friendship developed as the two found they shared a passion
for heavy music, leading in time to Tim inviting Rick to join The
Seventh Hour.
The Seventh Hour believes that music is a collaborative art to be
shared with the masses. This attitude propels them to
continue creating new music with originality and commercial appeal.
