Gold Rush
Gold Rush (formerly HERmonic) was born in 2006 from Pacific Lutheran University’s original mixed a cappella group. As the mixed group’s popularity grew, so the demand for an all female a cappella group on campus. So, the girls of the mixed group bid a fond farewell to the boys and founded their own group – HERmonic! Now Gold Rush, the ensemble has since grown into a diverse group of women who pride themselves on their individuality and spirit. They strive to create entertaining and innovative music, while sticking to their motto — Keep it Sassy, Brassy and Classy. They would like to thank their brother group PLUtonic, for all of their support and encouragement.
