Biography
Hailing from Portland, OR, The Thirsting offers cutting edge Catholic music. Under the direction of Daniel Oberreuter, The Thirsting unabashedly proclaims the truths of the Catholic faith from confession, and the Eucharist, to the Trinity, and Mary, all while rivaling secular acts in energy and emotion. The mission of The Thirsting is to inspire people to love and follow Jesus Christ through the Eucharist, Mary and the Rosary, and all the teachings of the Catholic Church.
As a live touring band, The Thirsting is known for high energy shows with a powerful Catholic message. Oberreuter is especially known for his promotion and preaching of the Rosary. At a Thirsting concert, one is taken on a journey spiritually as a Catholic message is intermingled with a stunning rock performance. Many people are moved to greater repentance and a deeper love of Jesus and His Church. The band has played numerous diocesan youth rallies and concerts across the nation and has opened for major label acts.
The current members of The Thirsting are:
- Daniel Oberreuter -Lead vocals/guitar
- Jason Seymour - Bass

- Alec Maier - Drums
The band has put out three self-produced albums Companions of the Lamb (2008), Universal Youth (2011), and Michael (2017)
