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.
