About The Lumineers

The Lumineers are an acclaimed American alternative folk band, originating in Ramsey, New Jersey, in 2005, and now based in Denver, Colorado. Comprising founding members Wesley Schultz (lead vocals, guitar) and Jeremiah Fraites (drums, percussion, piano), they rose to prominence as key figures in the folk-rock and Americana revival of the 2010s. Known for their stripped-back, raw sound, energetic live performances, and heartfelt, storytelling lyrics, their music often explores themes of love, loss, grief, and resilience, resonating with a deep sense of humanity and community.

  • The band's name, "The Lumineers," was adopted by accident. An emcee at a Jersey City club mistakenly introduced Schultz and Fraites as "The Lumineers," confusing them with another band slated to play the following week, and the name stuck.
  • Prior to their breakthrough, both founding members worked various service industry jobs, such as busser, bartender, and guitar teacher, to support themselves while pursuing their music careers and allowing for touring.
  • Their third album, "III" (2019), is a concept album that explores the devastating impact of substance abuse across three generations of a fictional family, complemented by a series of music videos that unfold the narrative.
  • The photograph featured on the cover of their self-titled debut album is actually a picture of Wesley Schultz's mother.
