Seeker Lover Keeper

 

Seeker Lover Keeper is the collaborative project of three of Australia’s most beloved musicians; Sarah Blasko, Holly Throsby and Sally Seltmann. The band originated, as many things do, from a conversation at a pub. In 2007, Sarah and Holly went to see Sally play a show in Sydney, and the three ended up drinking and talking well into the night. At some point during the night a plan arose: wouldn’t it be fun to tour together sometime? Sally suggested they should start a band. Without hesitation, Sarah and Holly said yes.

After releasing their now-iconic and much-loved self-titled debut album in 2011 Seeker Lover Keeper undertook multiple tours and then went their separate ways. Since then Sarah released three records, composed for film, theatre and television, and had a family; Holly wrote three novels, released an album, and also had a family; and Sally relocated with her family to LA for a time, released a couple of albums, wrote a novel, and composed for television.

It wasn’t until recently that they decided to come together again, 12 years after they first met and 8 years since they last played together. The album Wild Seeds with the was released in 2019 to unanimous critical acclaim, it’s a dazzling display of virtuosic song-writing, harmony and melody which was nominated for an ARIA and saw fans around the country flock to their sold-out Australian tour. The next chapter in the band’s musical lives of these artists has only just begun.
