Live & Acoustic – Insomnia Radio: Indie Music Network

Detroit artist Joe Hertler and his band The Rainbow Seekers put out a five song EP in April that is a great summation of the group’s live sound, recorded in the Russell Industrial Center in Detroit.

After recording Joe Herler wrote, “Let me just say that it’s very rare that I feel content with a piece of artwork that I’ve made. We filmed these videos in Russel Industrial Center in Detroit. They are our attempt to share a 100% live performance with the world, and thanks to our friends help I think we were able to capture just that. No auto-tune. No quantizing. No digital tricks.”

Without the brief interludes, the five track album could easily be mistaken for a studio recording. The Live at Russell sessions were also video recorded, providing a true look at the way Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers play together. Intimately shot and featuring candid moments in and around the worn yet charming Russell Industrial Center, the video captures both the hard work and play that makes this band what it is.

Tear into that BBQ leg son, multitask with your favorite 12 oz, and get ready for some quality blues rock. The compilation ‘Alive at the Deep Blues Fest’ is arriving this November 27th via Alive NaturalSound Recordings and features 13 incendiary performances from the festival which occurred from June 29th to July 1st, 2012 in Bayport, Minnesota [a suburb of Minneapolis].

Earlier in the summer the owner of Bayport BBQ, Chris Johnson, resurrected the popular Blues Festival for three days of sold out performances. Twenty six bands from four countries and sixteen states were featured. The forthcoming compilation is a document of the intense freeflowing performances from the festival and was mixed by famed Detroit producer/musician Jim Diamond, who managed to capture the loose and spontaneous feel of classic live albums produced decades ago.

Today’s feature from this forthcoming compilation is by Cincinnati, Ohio based band BUFFALO KILLERS. They really light up the stage for this meaty performance, a real quality track to enjoy on this lazy Sunday. Coming soon via CD, Digital & BBQ Sauce Red Colored Vinyl!
