After a brief stint as a solo artist performing at various venues across mid-Michigan, Joe Hertler teamed up with Kevin Pritchard to form an American rock band picking up musicians Ryan Hoger, Rick Hale, Aaron Stinson, Micah Bracken and Jason Combs along the way. Joe Hertler & The Rainbow Seekers released its first album, On Being, in 2011 followed by a tour and live shows leading up its second, Terra Incognita, in 2015. Drawing inspiration from a diverse lineup of genres including folk, soul, funk and R&B, the band's distinctive brand of rock sets it apart from the throng.
