Jerry Gabriel I've always been a blues singer.
singing is what I live for. I've been in a lot of
bands over the years but
Tower is like family. We are always writting so you
may hear new stuff every
show. Often people say we look like we are having
fun....we are!
I love to ride my harley to great places and eat
great foods.
I also love sailing and being with nature.
Tower gives me the chance to really cut loose and
express myself.
The music is an extention of my life. It's all about
love and fantasy with a
bit of reality stuffed in.
If you come to the shows feel free to come up and say
hello, the members are
very approachable and friendly.
Hope to see ya , CARPE-DIEM Mike Robson Like every other horny teen, I took up music to meet girls. But things didn't work out quite like I had planned. What I thought was going to be a vehicle to meets girls turned into an obsession. Instead of hitting the party scene on the weekend (one of my favorite past times) I started hanging out at home playing guitar into the wee hours of the night. I couldn't get enough, and the better I got the more I wanted to play. I guess I'm lucky because I found my passion at such an early age. Influenced by Rock & Roll legends like Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, and KISS, I set off to follow in the footsteps of my heroes. After a long journey through numerous bands, broken hearts, and broken guitar strings, I finally found TOWER. In TOWER I've found my musical voice and I've put all that I am into the music we produce. Mike Mike Pernu Pernu formed Tower with Mike Robson in 1995 and actually met in High School because of their likes for hard rock! Influences: John Paul Jones, Chris Squire, John Entwhistle, Flea. Favorite Band besides TOWER: Led Zeppelin When I'm not grooving on new tunes for TOWER, I spend my time creating heavy, funky, rhythmic ideas that can be brought to the band. Come by the stage after our performance and say "hi". |
