The Lumineers will play Pinewood Bowl on May 30.
The concert was announced Tuesday morning on the Pinewood Bowl Theater Facebook page.
Driven by the nearly 4-million-selling hit “Ho Hey,†the Denver-based Lumineers are one of the hottest bands in music. Their self-titled 2012 debut album hit No. 2 on the Billboard charts in January and has sold 1.2 million copies, a rarity in the 2013 record business.
The folk rock band was nominated for a pair of Grammys -- best new artist and best Americana album -- and performed on the Grammy telecast.
Founding members singer/guitarist Wesley Shultz and drummer Jeremiah Fraites began writing songs together in 2005 when they lived in New York. After moving to Denver, they found cellist Neyla Pekarek via a Craiglist ad and began playing as a trio while forming the band’s signature sound that blends acoustic rock, pop and traditional folk.
