About Havilah Tower

Havilah Tower & The Seekers

Austin, Texas has the privilege of being home to Havilah Tower & The Seekers, a “classacoustical rock” band that brings home the rock-and-roll sound with the elegance of acoustic and classical instrumentation. It’s a rivetingly original sound and brings genre-bending to new heights.

Turn Off Your Mind

The engaging music performed by The Seekers comes from a creative process that allows the natural flow of talent. “When we’re all feeling the vibe musically, it’s like your mind just turns off and it’s totally about the energy we’re creating.” This synergistic band works quite well together and when the chemistry hits, the members simply allow themselves to be channels for the music.

The Sound

With such a talented blend of musicians, great music is inevitable. A unique fusion of instruments, tastes and inspiration makes for a band whose sound sets itself apart from the masses. “Havilah Tower & The Seekers is an eclectic crew. We love so many different types of music and come from such varied backgrounds.” The members bring a bright array of ideas and abilities to the band and the results are magnificent. “Stephen Perkins, our djembe drummer, used to be in a heavy metal band. Christ Wright, our cellist, used to be in orchestra. Havilah Tower, lead vocalist and writer of most of our songs, writes completely from the heart.”

The Artist at Work

Havilah Tower & The Seekers formed in 2005 and have kept hard at the musical dream since then. The group has performed benefits, television showcases and a wide variety of venues.
