With a collaboration spanning more than fifteen years, the Seers have transformed their love for classic rock and experimental pop into a walking, talking, modern-day jukebox of musical versatility. With a “stunning repertoire” of over 700 covers and 100 Americana Folk Rock originals, Brian Collins and Sean Waters, perform at least 125 regional shows per year while writing and recording in the studio. As the Seers, Brian Collins and Sean Waters have written over 150 songs, and have released one album a year since 2010, in-and-out of their humble home studio and recording budget. Their 11-song debut EP, “Universal Tree” was rich with experimental, stream-of-consciousness progressive folk rock and piano ballads. Moving outward, two eclectic rock albums engineered and co-produced by Darren Radach: “The Seers” (2013) and “Cellophane Eyes” (2014). In 2016, The Seers worked with Danny Kalb (Beck, Ben Harper, and Foster the People), and Airshow Mastering to release the Alternative Rock / Vintage Rock EP “Signals” to critical acclaim. Their fifth album, the full-length “Better Days” was released May 13th, 2017.

Album art By Ehren Crumpler THE SEERS ARE: SEAN WATERS: Writer, guitarist, and vocalist Sean Waters inherited a 1967 Gibson Electric Guitar (an ES-345) when he was fifteen, just one year after buying a cheap pawn-shop starter. A year later, Sara Collins, Brian’s little sister, saw Sean play some Sublime and Van Morrison covers at a High School after-prom party. Sara convinced Sean to come play with Brian Collins, who at the time, was holed up in his childhood mountain home, hungry for musical expression. Sean and Brian’s first jam, in 2000, set off a years-long practice of making music. Sean was a much younger musician, still developing his ears, and Collins – who had been playing and developing his perfect pitch since he was six – gladly took a role as a musical mentor that pushed his talents and repertoire. After one year of college in Bozeman, Montana, Sean came back to Fort Collins to work a desk job and play music six to eight hours a night with Brian and the other musicians he knew in town. Those early sessions with Collins became the regionally successful six-piece Jam Rock band Wasabi. When Wasabi disbanded in 2009, Brian and Sean considered calling their new duo project “The Seers” to play on Brian’s extra-sensory psychedelic visions and dreams. Sean’s mom, upon learning that Sean was considering calling his new band ‘the Seers’ was blown away: she had had a pre-natal dream where she was instructed to name her son ‘Sears’, but decided against it. She chose ‘Sean’ instead, the closest socially-acceptable name. In 2002, Sean got tired of the desk job. Seeking better work that supported the music, he completed a B.A. and M.A. in Philosophy at Colorado State University in 2006 and 2008, and then another M.A. in English Education from Colorado State University in 2014. Working as a composition and philosophy instructor nine months out of the year, Sean dedicates his time to his music and his art. He’s on Instagram and Tumblr as @theseers. BRIAN COLLINS: Writer, vocalist, pianist, and multi-instrumentalist Brian Collins has seen the world through music since he was six. Blind from birth, Brian’s father taught him drums and keyboard at an early age. He then learned tuba, trumpet, bass, guitar, and synthesizers. He now writes music as he swims, working out complex arrangements that he’ll later perform on drums, piano and guitar. In 1999, Brian was studying music at UNC-Greeley, but “sight-reading” classical music required too many hours of monotonously memorizing sheet music. Deciding to re-focus on his own progressive rock music, Brian began building a career as a musical performer and writer. Working odd jobs, he transferred back CSU and eventually earned a B.A. in Social Work in 2013 – the same time he was training at a Fort Collins Piano bar and beginning to see a way to sustain himself through music alone. He has since worked professionally as a musician, spending his free time swimming, writing, and taking care of his family and friends. Brian has become somewhat famous with Fort Collins locals for jogging up and down Mountain Avenue. Despite being blind, Brian boldly treks down the street with only a cane in his hand to guide him. This audacity is shown in his style as a performer and a songwriter.
