Im Mai sind The Lumineers endlich wieder mit Hits wie ‚Ho Hey’ und ‚Stubborn Love’ und den Songs ihres neuen Albums ‚Cleopatra’ (VÖ 08.04.2016) live in drei deutschen Städten zu sehen. Die Shows in Berlin und Hamburg sind bereits ausverkauft. Wegen der großen Nachfrage kündigt das Trio für November vier weitere Shows an. Am 14. November werden The Lumineers erneut nach Hamburg kommen und im Mehr! Theater spielen. Für Wesley Schultz, Jeremiah Fraites und Neyla Pekarek begann alles damit, dass ‚Ho Hey’ für eine amerikanische TV-Serie verwendet wurde. Ihr selbstbetiteltes Album, das 2012 erschien, verkaufte sich alleine in den USA 1,7 Millionen mal, weltweit waren es drei Millionen Exemplare. Drei Jahre lang waren The Lumineers live unterwegs und spielten auf sechs von sieben Kontinenten. Genau wie bei ihrem Erstling hatten sie auch bei ‚Cleopatra’ größtmögliche Freiheit, was Songwriting und Produktion betraf. Herausgekommen ist erneut ein Werk mit Anlehnungen an Arbeitersongs des 19. Jahrhunderts, Akustik-Folk des 20. Jahrhunderts und zeitgenössische orchestrale Soundtracks. Auf der Bühne wird ihre Mischung aus klassischem Pop und alternative Rock zur mitreißenden Show, die auf der ganzen Welt für begeisterte Fans sorgt.

  • 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.

  • The Lumineers Album Download Zip the Lumineers Album Download Zip
    the lumineers album download zip The lumineers album download zip. The Lumineers Cleopatra Working download link, full 2016 release pc mobile hq songs, offline. The second studio album by the American indie folk band The Lumineers is Cleopatra. The album was released on April 8, 2016 in the United States, and features the singles "Ophelia", "Cleopatra", "Angela" and "Sleep on the Floor". The album got favorable reviews and commercial success, debuting on the UK Albums Chart and the Billboard 200 at number one. It is the band's last album to feature Neyla Pekarek, who left to pursue a solo career in October 2018. Cleopatra sounds slight with 11 songs and clocking in at a brisk 35 minutes. Per song is less than four minutes, but the target is much more intense compared to The Lumineers' first record. At the beginning of the song, percussion is most prominently featured. It's used less and less, beginning at the halfway stage, and the result is a soft deceleration. Conceptually, this makes a lot of sense, and you can see why it will be performed by a band, but it doesn't change the fact that the first half of the album is a lot more enjoyable.

  • 'The Lumineers' Annunciano Il Nuovo Album 'Cleopatra'in Uscita L'8
    MERCOLEDì 17 FEBBRAIO 2016 I The Lumineers, trio americano newyorkese ma di base a Denver formato da Wesley Keith Schultz (voce e chitarra), Jeremiah Caleb Fraites (batteria, percussioni e mandolino) e Neyla Pekarek (violoncello, 'The Lumineers' annunciano il pianoforte, basso, mandolino), hanno annunciato l'uscita del loro atteso nuovo album 'Cleopatra'in uscita secondo album 'Cleopatra', prevista per il prossimo 8 aprile. l'8 aprile anticipato dal singolo 'Ophelia' in radio dal 19 febbraio 'Cleopatra' è anticipato da 'Ophelia', un brano dallo stile "inconfondibilmente Lumineers", un perfetto esempio sia del loro stile distintivo, sia della loro voglia di aggiungere nuovi suoni alla formula di Già annunciate due date in Italia il 20 e 21 luglio successo del primo album, con quel pianoforte che diventa un viaggio nel tempo e nelle emozioni. CRISTIAN PEDRAZZINI Ecco come Wesley Schultz descrive 'Ophelia', disponibile per la programmazione radiofonica da venerdì 19 febbraio: "Ophelia è un vago riferimento a coloro che si innamorano della fama, non rendendosi conto che si tratta solo di un momento fugace se paragonato all'intera vita" . [email protected] Questo nuovo lavoro arriva a distanza di quattro anni dall'omonimo SPETTACOLINEWS.IT album d'esordio del 2012, che contiene tra gli altri il singolo multiplatino 'Ho Hey', dal suono a metà tra il pop e il folk e rimasto nella Top 10 della Hot 100 per 14 settimane, e 'Stubborn Love', inserito di recente nella playlist di Spotify di Barak Obama. In questo lasso di tempo il The Lumineers hanno letteralmente portato la loro musica sui palchi di tutto il mondo, conquistato due prestigiose nomination ai Grammy (Miglior Nuovo Artista e Miglior Album), realizzato due brani per la saga cinematografica 'Hunger Games' (tra cui 'The Hanging Tree') e venduto oltre 3 milioni di copie.

  • Line up 2016
    PRESENTA LINE UP 2016 Martedì 5 luglio – GLEN HANSARD Sabato 16 luglio – KINGS OF CONVENIENCE Giovedì 21 luglio – LUMINEERS Venerdì 22 luglio - RY X + JOSH T. PEARSON Martedì 9 agosto – PUBLIC SERVICE BROADCASTING + DAUGHTER Giunto alla sua undicesima edizione, Sexto ’nplugged si conferma come uno degli appuntamenti estivi da non perdere per gli amanti della musica e della sperimentazione. Il festival, ambientato nell’ampio spazio centrale del complesso Abbaziale, vuole percorrere strade alternative, anche se non contrapposte, rispetto al luogo in cui si svolge. I concerti inseriti nel cartellone dell’edizione 2016, pur nel rispetto della filosofia del festival e del luogo che li ospita, non sono tutti concerti prettamente acustici. In linea con quanto fatto nelle edizioni precedenti, e coerentemente con lo spirito della manifestazione, per alcuni concerti sono stati concordati con gli artisti degli allestimenti particolari. Gli artisti sono ad ogni modo liberi di utilizzare la strumentazione che ritengono maggiormente idonea a garantire un’ottima performance. Piazza Castello di Sesto al Reghena è un luogo intimo ed antico, con un'ottima acustica che, forse, è il principale valore della piazza. I concerti si svolgono nel rispetto del luogo stesso, e la struttura della piazza permette agli artisti di suonare a volumi meno alti rispetto ad altri set concertistici, garantendo in questo modo la qualità del suono. Voci e strumenti sono percepiti dal pubblico con maggiore intensità, garantendo così uno spettacolo emozionante. L'acustica della piazza, inoltre, permette agli artisti di vivere le proprie Piazza Castello n. 4 - 33079 Sesto al Reghena (PN) - Cod.

We always aim to please, with a scintillating mix of personal perspectives, opinions and advice for vocalists and artists of all persuasions. And this year is no exception. Seated at the current roundtable are legendary vocalistbassist Suzi Quatro, Buckcherry frontman Josh Todd, Counting Crows leading light Adam Duritz, singersongwriter and author Kudisan Kai and former cellist- vocalist for The Lumineers and, now, solo artist Neyla Pekarek. Neyla Pekarek Grace Fleisher [email protected] neylapekarek.com Neyla Pekarek is currently touring in support of her debut solo album Rattlesnake on S-Curve Records/BMG. Pekarek returns to her Colorado roots, with a folk opera built around a mythological figure known as “Rattlesnake Kate.” First Performances and Education My first professional gig was in The Lumineers for eight years. Prior to that I studied vocal music in college and sang with barbershop quartets. Leaving The Lumineers to Write and Record Rattlesnake I made the decision to leave the group last fall. The Lumineers’ tour schedule, for better or worse, is very demanding. Whenever I had time off I was flying to Portland to record my solo album. Mostly the decision to work in Portland was so I could work with M Ward as a producer. The Story Behind Rattlesnake When I was a college student in Greeley, Colorado I came across this story while visiting an historical museum there.

  • Saying 'Heh' Proves to Be a Key to Success for the Lumineers
    28 | FEBRUARY.15.2013 | FRIDAY WEEKENDER: STAYING IN LEXINGTON HERALD-LEADER | LEXGO.COM Saying ‘heh’ proves to be a key to success for The Lumineers By Steve Johnson Chicago Tribune There’s a question that someone paying close attention to contemporary pop music would not be considered crazy for asking: What’s with all the shouting? Seemingly all of a sudden, bands have been having success punctuating their tunes with “hos” and “heys.” These “heys” are not lyrical content, as in Hey Jude. Nor are these chants ritually repeated, almost affect- less incantations of a song’s chorus, like in most recent Katy Perry hits. Rather, they are a form of percussion, a novel — compared to what else is out there — way of thickening a song’s rhythms and of calling back to a time before iTunes, Auto-Tune, recording technology itself. On its own terms, and as a symbol of popular music’s new willingness to reach back into our rural roots, this trend is as welcome as a third encore at an Avett Brothers show. The most obvious example is, yes, Ho Hey, the infectious, upbeat song by the Lumineers climbed as high as No. 3 on Billboard’s Hot 100, No. 1 on its rock chart and No. 2 on its pop chart. Ho Hey is so perky and undeniable, it would be the song of the summer, if it weren’t having its biggest success now. But Ho Hey is much more folk than rock. And rather than having the backing of what remains of the music industry, the Lu- mineers are an indie trio out of Denver.
