The Lumineers: Handcrafted Folk-Rock with a Heartbeat

The Lumineers are more than a band—they’re a feeling. Since breaking into the spotlight with the foot-stomping anthem “Ho Hey” in 2012, this Colorado-born folk-rock powerhouse has carved out a lane all their own, blending Americana soul, indie grit, and timeless songwriting into a sound that’s as intimate as it is arena-ready.

Founded by Wesley Schultz (vocals, guitar) and Jeremiah Fraites (drums, piano), The Lumineers built their foundation the old-school way—on the road, in living rooms, and through raw, emotional storytelling. Their music speaks directly to the human experience: love and loss, home and heartbreak, hope and healing.

With a string of critically acclaimed albums—including their self-titled debut The Lumineers (2012), Cleopatra (2016), III (2019), and BRIGHTSIDE (2022)—the band has proven their staying power. Every record peels back a new layer, blending stripped-down arrangements with cinematic swells, all wrapped in Schultz’s unmistakable voice and Fraites’ haunting, minimalist percussion.

🎶 Their Sound:

Think folk with fire. Acoustic at its core, but bursting with emotional weight, piano flourishes, and gospel-tinged choruses. It’s music you can cry to. Music you can shout to. Music you’ll carry with you.

🌍 Why They Matter:

In an age of digital gloss, The Lumineers remind us that honesty never goes out of style. Whether headlining global festivals or playing an unplugged set in a tiny room, they make every show feel personal. Their songs aren't just heard—they’re felt.
