Here’s the bio: From Santa Barbara it's the Rainbow Girls! Raw, organic, stomp folk music! See them in a Groovefest Benefit at Mike's Tavern in Cedar City, Tuesday night, April 30th. It's going to be a fun night in support of a great festival, Groovefest 2013! Just $5 at the door!

Rainbow Girls formed in the bottom of a radioactive crater. The first two colors to explode grinning from the mud were Red and Yellow, who soon realized that in order to fulfill their destiny, they needed to find the rest of the colors and join together to create an Electric All-Lady Stomp-Folk Grand Band. Green was discovered practicing voodoo in a barn in Carpinteria, while Violet was drawn to the harmonious, soul lifting shrieks of a particularly festive Monday night ritual known as BEAN NIGHT.

The four immediately took off on a gust of wind to Joshua Tree and Big Bear Mountain, and traveled through Europe by the skin of their teeth, couch surfing, playing music on the streets, staying in art squats and getting deported from London. When they returned, bursting with rock but lacking a drummer, Blue, carrying an entire drum kit around her body like a huge metal cloak, trampolined forth from inside a stand at the Farmers Market and Rainbow Girls was formed!

Thursday, May 2, 7:00PM: The 30th annual SUZUKI STRINGS Concert with the Rocky Mountain Strings and CCSS alumni in the Heritage Center Theater at 105 N. 100 E. in Cedar City. Admission is a suggested donation of $5.00.     435-586-7872.
