Says lead vocalist/sax player Gil Bridges, who has been with Rare Earth since the beginning, "We recently played at Cincinnati's 'City of Celebration' (along with REO Speedwagon, Pat Benatar, Fleetwood Mac, and Orleans) to a capacity crowd."
Lucky ones here in Lansing also got to see Rare Earth in the flesh in June when the boys knocked us out at the North Lansing Heritage Festival. Bridges adds, "Playing at the Heritage Festival in Lansing was lots of fun. We'll definitely have to try to come back next year. Everyone was fantastic to us!"
Rare Earth's latest album, DIFFERENT WORLD, has been officially released throughout Europe on the Koch International label. It's also available around here if you ask your friendly record store to find it for you, and the guys are currently working on demos (including several songs recently submitted to them by ace songwriter Russ Ballard) for their next album, which will be released on Koch International. The band is still playing 75-100 dates per year, keeping themselves extremely busy, but I hope they come back to Lansing again really soon because RARE EARTH RULES!
