THE LUMINEERS: FOLK ROCK BAND


The Lumineers: An American folk rock band, consisting of members Wesley Schultz, guitar/vocals, Jermiah Fraites, drums and Neyla Pekarek, cello/vocals, released their self titled debut album, THE LUMINEERS.

Their knee slapping tunes are in the order of Dylan with a meaningful message, infused with memorable melodies as Mumford and Sons, The Avett Brothers, and Phillip Phillips.

Currently the very catchy tune ‘Hey Ho’ has a lot of commercial value and is getting a wide range of radio play. You will recognize it immediately. 

Schultz & Fraites, are out of New Jersey originally and the songwriters of the group. In 2005 they became fed-up with the cutthroat music scene in the East so they packed up all their belongings and moved to Denver, where they met up with Pekarek.

The amazing story is this is their first time out, and they are Nominated for ‘Best New Artist’ and ‘Best Americana Album’ by Grammy to be presented on 2/10/2013, and the song ‘Hey Ho’ is a featured song in the Oscar Nominated movie “Silver Linings Playbook”

They are touring with the Dave Matthews Band beginning December 2012.
