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 stamp¬ing grounds. Young, old and in-between, theyre drawn by songs like Ho Hey and Stubborn Love, Americana-inflected barnburners in the vein of the Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons. Theyre 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 experiencea coming-together in musical solidarity against isolation, adversity, and despair. The roots revival of the last few yeas has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve musicthe kind that nods to tradition while setting off into uncharted territory. 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.
