Did you know… 5 facts about The Lumineers;
- ‘The Lumineers’ have had a few different band names over the years, including; Free Beer, 6Cheek and Wesley Jeremiah before finally settling on The Lumineers.
- Wesley Schultz won an award for ‘Best Smile’ in High School.
- The band schedules their song writing sessions religiously, developing a clock-in and clock-out approach for them. They treat it like a job and work 9-5 each day.
- Jeremiah’s signature braces, which he wears on stage, are actually a superhero costume. When he was in high school, a friend’s brother asked him, “When you go on stage, what kind of superhero are you?” so from then on he decided to create his own little superhero outfit for playing live.
- After relocating to Denver, Wesley and Jeremiah met their cellist, Neyla Pekarek through an ad they placed on Craigslist. She has since left the band…
They see themselves as being like a married couple, “We’re both married, but ours was the first marriage, unspoken and not legal!” says Jeremiah of their close partnership.
Of their main musical influences, they cite a diverse array of artists including; Beethoven, Bob Dylan, Talking Heads, Leonard Cohen and Tom Petty.
Their new album, ‘III’ has been ten years in the making, and now with its release, each track has its own accompanying cinematic video. They describe the process as being ‘gratifying and liberating’ and a way that their fans can visually experience the songs.
