The Lumineers

Description

Having been together for only a year, the story for The Lumineers continues to grow and build via their breakout single Ho Hey, The Denver, CO based act received a great initial springboard via a placement on US tv show 'Hart Of Dixie' at the end of 2011 for the 'Ho Hey' track and they band have barely looked back, In 2011, an eponymous, self-recorded EP led to a self-booked tour, and before long The Lumineers started attracting devout fans, first across the Western US, then back in their old East Coast stamping grounds, Young, old and in-between, they're drawn by songs like "Ho Hey" and "Stubborn Love," Americana-inflected barnburners in the vein of the Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons, They're drawn by songs like "Slow it Down" and "Dead Sea," slow, sultry ballads that suggest the raw revelations of Jeff Buckley and Ryan Adams, They're drawn by the live Lumineers experience-a coming-together in musical solidarity against isolation, adversity, and despair, The roots revival of the last few years has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve music, The Lumineers walk that line with an unerring gift for timeless melodies and soul-stirring lyrics, Born out of sorrow, powered by passion, ripened by hard work, The Lumineers have found their sound when the world needs it most.
