\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

The roots revival of the last few years has primed listeners for a new generation of rustic, heart-on-the sleeve music\u2014the kind that nods to tradition while setting off into uncharted territory. The Lumineers walk that line, and for the first time will be bringing their timeless melodies and soul-stirring lyrics to China.<\/h6>\n
Growing up in the New York City suburb of Ramsey, New Jersey,\u00a0Wesley Schultz\u00a0spent his childhood days drawing side by side with his best friend, Josh Fraites. Today, as bandleader of The Lumineers, Wesley\u2019s replaced his pencil with a guitar, his drawings with songs, and plays side by side with Joshua\u2019s younger brother Jeremiah. Joined later by Neyla Pekarek who softened Wes and Jer\u2019s rough edges, The Lumineers sound took shape; an amalgam of heart-swelling stomp-and-clap acoustic rock, classic pop, and front-porch folk.<\/h6>\n
In 2011, an eponymous, self-recorded EP led to a self-booked tour, and before long The Lumineers started attracting devout fans, first across the Western US, then back in their old East Coast stomping\u00a0grounds. Young, old and in-between, they\u2019re drawn by songs like \u201cHo Hey\u201d and \u201cStubborn Love,\u201d Americana-inflected barnburners in the vein of the Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons. They\u2019re drawn by songs like \u201cSlow it Down\u201d and \u201cDead Sea,\u201d slow, sultry ballads that suggest the raw revelations of Jeff Buckley and Ryan Adams. They\u2019re drawn by the live Lumineers experience\u2014a coming-together in musical solidarity against isolation, adversity, and despair.<\/h6>\n
