American indie folk-rock band The Lumineers are renowned for their raw, acoustic textures and anthemic songwriting. Originally formed in 2005 in Ramsey, New Jersey, by core founding partners Wesley Schultz (lead vocals, guitar) and Jeremiah Fraites (drums, percussion), the duo relocated to Denver, Colorado, in 2010 where their distinct sound truly took root. The band skyrocketed to global fame with the release of their 2012 self-titled debut album, propelled by the triple-platinum, chart-topping smash single “Ho Hey”. Known for creating a deeply collective live experience, they followed their early success with consecutive hit records, including the billboard-topping Cleopatra (2016), the narrative-driven III (2019), and Brightside (2022). Over their career, they have amassed two Grammy nominations, billions of streams, and countless sold-out stadium performances worldwide. The band’s artistic trajectory reached a major milestone with the release of their highly anticipated fifth studio album, Automatic. Accompanied by touring multi-instrumentalists like Lauren Jacobson and Stelth Ulvang, Schultz and Fraites spent the year executing their massive “Automatic World Tour,” drawing enormous crowds across Australia, Europe, South America, and the United States—including a historic headlining set to open the U.S. Open. Two decades into their journey, The Lumineers remain a vital cornerstone of contemporary Americana, seamlessly balancing massive commercial success with a deep commitment to environmental and social advocacy.
