Joe Hertler & the Rainbow Seekers

IRON MOUNTAIN — The Braumart in downtown Iron Mountain will present Joe Hertler & the Rainbow Seekers at 7 p.m. Thursday.

Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers will make a sprightly young groove doctor out of anyone. With spectacular energy pulsating from every member of the band, the Rainbow Seekers could illuminate the very chambers of Heaven.

Lead singer Joe Hertler splashes through lyrical puddles of golden rain, leaving his audience wearing flowery crowns and bubbling smiles.

A ride on the Rainbow will take you across the mountains of Motown, through the fjords of folk, over the archipelagos of Americana, and-at last-into a funky firth, where only the fiercest of friendships can be found.

The Rainbow Seekers began their quest eight years ago, revolving around the pure, unadulterated songwriting of Hertler.

Since the early days, their quest has brought them across the nation and to such gatherings as Bonnaroo, Electric Forest, and Summer Camp. Seeking the proverbial Rainbow is all about the live performance.

“The live show is the purpose of the band. This is why we make music. Playing music is a symbiotic process, the crowd is as much a part of it as the musicians. We give as much energy and love as we can, and we can feel that coming from the crowd as well,” Hertler said. “From pilatas to confetti, to fog, to flowers, to drum solos, to strobe lights, to Thor, to sword battles — literally anything goes.”

Doors open at 6 p.m., with the show starting at 7 p.m. Central. Tickets are $22 and available online at www.thebraumart.org or at the door while supplies last.
