The Ho Hey Songfacts reports that Schultz and Fraites were originally based in New York and started collaborating in 2002 after Fraites’ brother, Josh, who was also Schultz’s best friend died of an overdose. The pair began writing and performing to cope with their grief and they later relocated to Denver, where they met the classically trained Pekarek after advertising for a cellist.

The roots revival of the last few years has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve music—the 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. http://thelumineers.com/ https://www.facebook.com/TheLumineers https://twitter.com/thelumineers http://smarturl.it/ituneslumineers http://smarturl.it/amazonlumineers User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License and may also be available under the GNU FDL.
