Sono passati setti anni dalla pubblicazione dell’omonimo album d’esordio che li ha resi famosi in tutto il mondo e ben tre da “Cleopatra”, il disco che ha consacrato il loro talento e successo mondiale. The Lumineers fanno ritorno sulla scena musicale con “III”, il terzo album in studio pubblicato il 13 settembre via Dualtone, distribuzione Universal. Il loro coinvolgente sound ha scalato le classifiche mondiali conquistando milioni di fan. Il loro omonimo disco di debutto è stato nominato ai Grammy Awards come “Best New Artist” e “Best Americana Album”, rimanendo per 46 settimane alla #2 posizione della Billboard 200. “Ho Hey”, il singolo che ha consacrato il loro successo, è rimasto per ben 62 settimane in #3 posizione nella Billboard Hot 100, raggiungendo oltre 142 milioni di visualizzazioni su YouTube. “Cleopatra”, il loro secondo album è stato certificato DISCO DI PLATINO. The Lumineers nascono nel 2005 dall’incontro tra il chitarrista e cantante Wesley Schultz e il batterista Jeremiah Fraites, entrambi cresciuti a Ramsey, un sobborgo a sud di New York. Nel 2009 stampano un primo EP, ma il successo arriva nel 2011 quando il brano “Ho Hey” viene notato e utilizzato come sigla della serie tv “Hart of Dixie”. La band firma quindi un contratto con la Dualtone Records e il 3 aprile 2012 pubblica il suo album di debutto, intitolato semplicemente “The Lumineers”. A quattro anni di distanza dal disco che li ha consacrati, la band torna sulla scena musicale con un secondo lavoro, “Cleopatra”, prodotto da Simon Felice, che dimostra come Schultz e Fraites non abbiano dato la loro fortuna per scontato, né si siano seduti sugli allori. Sono passati tre anni e The Lumineers sono pronti a fare il loro ritorno sulla scena musicale con “III”, in uscita per Dualtone, distribuzione Universal, il 13 settembre: ogni nota e ogni sillaba sono cariche di emozioni. Per questo progetto Schultz e Fraites hanno voluto rinnovare la collaborazione con Simone Felice e con la violinista Lauren Jacobson. Con loro anche il pianista Stelth Ulvang, il vocalist e bassista Byron Isaacs e il polistrumentista Brandon Miller, mentre la violoncellista e cantante Neyla Pekarek, dopo 8 anni, ha lasciato il gruppo nel 2018 per intraprendere la carriera da solista. Il lavoro è intitolato “III” non solo perché è il terzo album in studio della band, ma, in modo più significativo, perché nove delle canzoni che lo compongono sono presentate in tre capitoli, ognuno incentrato su diverso personaggio (oltre alle nove canzoni, l'album contiene tre bonus track che non rientrano nella narrativa). Il progetto è nato da una serie di elementi non connessi, tratti dalle pagine di un diario che Schultz ha scritto più di un decennio fa: in queste note parla del tentativo straziante di salvare un parente dall’alcolismo, della sua famiglia e della sua infanzia. L’idea del nuovo album inizia a prendere piede nel 2017 mentre la band si trovava a Catskills, dove Felice vive e lavora. In collaborazione con Fraites, il cui pianoforte espressivo gioca un ruolo centrale nel dramma e nella bellezza di queste canzoni, Schultz ha affinato e collegato tra loro i personaggi che abitavano le canzoni che avevano composto. Il risultato è la storia di tre generazioni di una stessa famiglia: la nonna, Gloria Sparks; suo figlio, Jimmy Sparks; e suo nipote, Junior Sparks. Di solito i fan non associano The Lumineers all'oscurità. «Quando la gente ascolta ‘Ho Hey’ pensa sia una canzone solare» dice Fraites. «E va bene, quello era il nostro intento. Volevamo che fosse così e volevamo quell'atmosfera. Ma questo era sette anni fa, e le nostre vite sono cambiate notevolmente da allora”. Nel 2018 Schultz e Fraites sono diventati entrambi padre per la prima volta». «Innanzitutto» aggiunge Fraites «quando io e Wes scriviamo, ci interessa solo comporre una buona canzone; la musica viene sempre prima di tutto. Questa raccolta di canzoni è nata in modo meraviglioso, e sento che con questo album abbiamo davvero raggiunto il nostro obiettivo». .

The Oklahoma born model is our most recent favorite thing about Instagram. Choose an adventure below and discover your next favorite movie or TV show. Add the first question. A craft. They might not even need words. When a young actress is rocked by a series of public scandals, her lecherous agent attempts to salvage her career by booking her on a reality dating show. U2 wanted it even bigger, but they realized anything wider wouldn't fit in the football stadiums where they would play. At feet wide, the screen nearly spans the width of MetLife's football field. Official Sites. It's nearly all carbon fiber, light and strong—so much carbon fiber that a spool of it the width of a sidewalk would be four miles long. You may be able to find more information about this and similar content at piano. Some kind of data glitch. Suddenly, one of the forklifts jumps forward, fork extended, and the stage presents a piece of itself, neatly packed—a box of steel trussing. Rocko Reedy walks in. The people at the barricades had to come to the stadium on two separate occasions to secure this spot. Fixing little problems as they arrive. It doesn't really matter what you end doing with the rest of your night, but you'll feel much more comfortable and relaxed if you do it in the comfort of your PJs.

  • Snake, Rattle, and Roll Transcript
    1 Snake, Rattle, and Roll Transcript Tyler: This episode of Lost Highways is being released by History Colorado as many of us are ​ staying home in an effort to keep our community safe during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. To those of you out there who are unable to stay home, whether it’s because you’re working to keep people safe, provide healthcare, or provide supplies, thank you. Underwriting: Lost Highways, from History Colorado, is made possible by the Sturm Family ​ ​ Foundation, proud supporters of the humanities and the power of storytelling, for more than twenty years. [Music] Tyler: In 1979, curator and historian Peggy Ford Waldo had just started working at the Greeley ​ History Museum, when she stumbled upon a mysterious artifact, buried away in storage. Peggy Ford Waldo: And hanging in our very tiny collections storage area was a dress made of ​ the skins of rattlesnakes and it was just protected with a dry cleaner's bag. Noel: A dress made of RATTLESNAKE SKINS. Naturally, Ford Waldo, who you might ​ remember from some of our previous episodes about Dearfield and Native American Mascots, was curious. Peggy Ford Waldo: It looks like a flapper dress. And of course, a dress made of snake skins ​ with the hem of the dress being all the rattles of these skins intact, would have been in for a great time. You know, let's shake, rattle and roll. Tyler: And it wasn’t just a dress. Along with it was an ENTIRE flapper outfit made of snake skins ​ and rattles, including accessories. Peggy Ford Waldo: There was a pair of shoes that had been covered with rattlesnake skins ​ and there was a headband with very large rattles glued all the way around it.

  • 4. Folk, Folk Rock, Singer-Songwriters
    4. Folk, Folk Rock, Singer-Songwriters Lecture Outline • Traditional folk definition and folk song features • Three different ideas of “folk” • Professionalization of folk in the 1950s and 1960s • Singer-songwriters • Some newer folk artists and sounds Traditional Folk • Oral/Aural transmission • Anonymous composition (and communal composition) • Heavy ideological side to the term – Authenticity claims, ideas that change with time • Some Folk Song Types: – Ballads • Narratives (love, war, heroes, disasters, etc.) – Work Songs • Sailors, fishing, mining, lumber, sewing, etc. – Other • Lullabies, children’s songs, drinking songs etc. Traditional Folk Song Features • Often unaccompanied (a cappella) • Simple melodies (and harmonies, if present) • Usually solo singer or solo instrument – Simple accompaniment – Fiddle, guitar, accordion, whistle, spoons, etc. • Strophic form (AAAAA, etc.) or verse/chorus • Modal (not major or minor, but Dorian, Lydian modes, etc.) • Dancing often accompanies folk music Three different ideas of “folk” music 1. 19th Century – Romantic nationalism – European classical composers use folk melodies for new compositions – Start of song collecting • Turns it into a pop music • Shapes folk culture in terms of what is and isn’t collected • Turns it into a written music (as opposed to purely oral/aural) 2. 1930s and 1940s 3. Folk Revival Period (1958-1965) Folk in the 1930 and 1940s: Three Trends • Folk music starts to be used as a political tool – Beginning of connections with folk and protest music – Folk singers often advocated for social change – Usually left wing positions, socialism, helping the poor or marginalized • Creation of new “folk” songs – These were often written to sound old-timey, but were also often about current events • Some of these new songwriters became celebrities – One of the best examples of these three trends (left wing politics, new songs, and celebrity), was Woody Guthrie… Woodie Guthrie Ex: Woody Guthrie “Do Re Mi” (1940) • Similar to 19th C.

  • Austin City Limits Showcases the Best in Americana with the Lumineers and Shovels & Rope
    Austin City Limits Showcases the Best in Americana with The Lumineers and Shovels & Rope New Episode Airs October 19 on PBS Austin, TX—October 17, 2013—Austin City Limits (ACL) celebrates the best in Americana music today, with The Lumineers and Shovels & Rope making their ACL debuts. Denver's Lumineers perform their breakthrough hits including “Ho Hey” and “Stubborn Love” while Charleston, South Carolina's Shovels & Rope perform songs from their acclaimed debut O' Be Joyful. The new episode, part of ACL's just-launched Season 39, premieres October 19th. ACL airs weekly on PBS stations nationwide (check local listings for times) and full episodes are made available online at acltv.com immediately following the initial broadcast. The episode offers a deeper look at two acts that have been receiving well-deserved attention in the roots revival movement. Leading off the hour is The Lumineers, a folk-rock trio that play traditional but original heart-on-the-sleeve music. Of the band The Austin Chronicle writes, “There's nothing precious or affected here, just three dedicated artists opening their hearts.” The young group's breakthrough hit “Ho Hey” was one of the most-played songs of 2012, earning them a performing slot on 2013's Grammy Awards telecast, in addition to two Grammy nominations for Best New Artist and Best Americana Album. The Lumineers' uplifting ACL debut is filled with heart-swelling stomp-and-clap acoustic rock, classic pop and front-porch folk. Their set includes an inspired take on a Dylan classic, while the tambourine driven beat of “Ho Hey” brings the crowd to its feet and the performance closes with a crowd sing-along on “Stubborn Love”.
