Featured in TIR Episode 213, Part 2 of 2: Peter Rivera, also known as Peter Hoorelbeke, and best known as drummer and lead singer of the seminal rock-funk band Rare Earth during its peak success of the late 1960s and early 1970s. 

Breaking the mold as a white group signed to Motown Records, Rare Earth racked up four straight Top 30 albums and five Top 20 singles. Those songs included sizzling remakes of the Temptations’ “(I Know) I’m Losing You” and “Get Ready,” as well as the all-time funk-rock classics “Born to Wander” and “I Just Want to Celebrate.” 

Rivera broke from the band in the mid-1970s to record two albums as a third of the Capital Records’ group known as HUB. He then rejoined Rare Earth from the late 1970s though mid-1980s. In more recent years, Rivera has done two albums under his own name, and in 2021 has been releasing new songs including the uptempo “Shuttin’ Down” and the mellow “Lifetime.”

Featured in TIR Episode 212, Part 2 of 2: Keyboardist Joey Porter, who since 2006 has been a core member of adventurous Colorado-based funk, soul and jazz band The Motet. 

Founded in 1998 by drummer Dave Watts, the group has released eight studio albums but has been especially prominent on the jamband festival circuit and become famous for amazing live shows. Those include annual Halloween concerts where since 2000 the group has killed with entire covers sets of all-time greats like The Headhunters; Stevie Wonder; Tower of Power; Prince; The Talking Heads; Sly & the Family Stone; Earth, Wind & Fire; and Parliament-Funkadelic. In those performances, The Motet doesn’t just replicate those sources but musically inhabits their creative spirits.
