I was introduced to the music of the Lumineers through one of my children who is now 20. I’m a real person who can honestly say the Lumineers’ concert was one of the best ones I’ve ever been to in my life. Not to mention, their music has the most balanced mix of instruments and lyrics that make you want to pay attention to every word. Some seriously amazing band members who are very real, truthful, and down to earth. I’d highly recommend going to a Lumineers concert. It was the most amazing experience I’ve had in any show, everyone crowded around Wesley listening to the purest form of music. And at another point during the show the lead singer (Wesley Schultz) stepped off stage, walking around the small crowd, to talk and sing acoustically with no microphones or anything electronic for a song. At one point they even stopped playing to ask if everyone could put their cameras down and simply enjoy the moment and be with them in the music. They were so comfortable with everything it made their music even more personal to me. What was even better, was that the artists up on stage were feeding off of this community vibe to perform in a very honest kind of way with such passionate energy. Their music in general makes me feel like this it makes me feel at home.īecause they have only released one album, you could tell everyone knew every single song, which is always the best at a show because it felt as if the audience was so connected through it all. Watching them live was an amazing experience! The atmosphere they created in the small cozy venue made it feel like they were my friends playing up there, as if once they were done we could all sit and have a conversation. The record picked them up two Grammy Award nominations, and was reissued as a deluxe edition last year the band have since turned their attentions to the making of their follow-up.įirst off, The Lumineers are one of my all time favourite bands. It was replete with songs, like “Ho Hey”, that feel pretty much written for the communal singalong, and accordingly they went down a storm at festivals like Reading and Leeds in the UK. It was that track that helped them to find a record deal, and it featured on their album when it was finally released in 2012. They found the competitive environment intimidating and the cost of living prohibitive, though, so they instead decamped to Denver, Colorado, where they’d write their biggest hit to date, signature track “Ho Hey”. It’d taken seven years from when core members Wesley Keith Schultz (lead vocals, guitar and piano) and Jeremiah Caleb Fraites (drums) first started playing together for them to actually get an album out there in the first place they met and began making music together in Ramsey, New York, but quickly moved to Brooklyn, New York to pursue their dream of a career in music.
