Folk-stormers The Lumineers made a late night appearance on Jimmy Fallon last night, covering Talking Head’s “This Must Be the Place (Naïve Melody)” from their 1983 album Speaking in Tongues.  The Denver-based outfit make the classic song their own with jangly tamborine accents and their staccato bass drum pounding away.  The Lumineers headline the XPoNential Music Festival at Susquehanna Bank Center on Saturday evening, July 27th; tickets and information can be found here.  Watch the live video below, followed by the Talking Heads’ original version.

The Lumineers and a few thousand fans headline The Tower Theater (photos, review, setlist)

If ever there was a mystery about how The Lumineers became so popular so fast, last night’s appearance at The Tower Theater solved it: they involve the fans in their concerts as much as themselves.

Having catchy songs with singalong refrains helps, sure. But even given those, other acts might make performances a one-directional thing – they play, you watch, and applaud when it seems appropriate. The Lumineers, on the other hand, make the crowd feel involved and at home, all the way to the coat rack and living room piano they deck the stage out with. Continue reading →

The WXPN guide to The Lumineers (playing a sold out show tonight at the Tower Theater)

The Lumineers return to Philly tonight for a sold out show at the Tower Theater. We’re happy to say that XPN’s ride with The Lumineers to their current Grammy Award nominated, Saturday Night Live performing, massive record selling, and shows sold out status began in January, 2012 when World Cafe host David Dye featured this then little know band as one of his weekly World Cafe: Next artists. During the Cafe show, David played “The Dead Sea” and “Morning Song.” The band’s big hit song, “Ho Hey,” now heard almost everywhere, got it’s first play on WXPN by Mike Vasilikos on January 9th during the XPN Monday Night new music show, the 8 O’Clock News. It’s been all uphill since then. What follows is a timeline of our increasing love affair with the band. If you didn’t get tickets to tonight’s show, don’t worry, cause they’ll be back. We promise that. If you do go to the show, have fun. Continue reading →
