Seth Held started playing guitar at 17, but didn't start singing until around 1995. He comes by his passion for music through a family history of musicians and performers. His heavily rooted rock tendencies stem from the artists popular during his formulative years in the mid to late 70's but he enjoys listening to and playing many types of tunes. Seth is quick to laugh, enjoys a good book, an adult beverage, jamming with the band and being spanked when he is a bad boy.
Influences: The Rolling Stones, Elton John, Genesis, Johnny Cash, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, Audioslave
