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 in the Los Angeles area 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", and toured with the likes of Linkin Park, Fuel and Pat Benatar. After the group disbanded, Rick 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 metal and hard rock music, leading Tim to invite Rick to join The Seventh Hour.
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.
