The Lumineers Are Still On Tour

It has been many months now since The Lumineers embarked on their Cleopatra World Tour, which was announced last January in 2016 and started a couple of months later in the year. Amazingly, almost a year later, they are still going strong, visiting festivals and concert halls across the world.

While The Lumineers are having a slow climb to fame, they are doing incredibly well for an indie folk rock band that emerged seemingly out of the blue. The band started out with two members: Wesley and Jeremiah. The two united together to create music after losing a loved one, a brother and a best friend, to a drug overdose at a young age. After performing mostly cover songs at bars and gigs in New York City in the early 2000’s, the pair moved to Colorado to join the open air mic scene that was rising in popularity in the cool city of Denver. It was here in Denver that the band met trained cellist Neyla and they formed The Lumineers. In 2012, The Lumineers released a self titled album and had some much needed time in the spotlight with the popular hit Ho Hey.

In April 2016, The Lumineers released their second studio album titled Cleopatra. The album contains the hit song Ophelia. The song brings plenty of emotion, great indie beats, and powerful lyrics. Besides creating folk music, the band are involved in many charity organizations and try to use their music to better the world. They help people through tough times, shed light on important and pressing humanitarian issues, and overall project positive vibes to listeners and fans around the world. During their tour this year, The Lumineers will head to the Orpheum Theatre in Sioux City to perform at a Standing Rock benefit.
