Lonesome Dreams continues to garner widespread praise:

“…Songs that feel wide-open and ambitious, but also giddy and unpredictable.”—NPR

“…music sails above those geographic and romantic landscapes as a thoroughly tuneful, reverberant extension of folk-rock and country-rock…”—The New York Times

“The indie-folk band paints a vivid landscape with upbeat, warm melodies and the dreamy vocals.”—USA Today

“…Campfire strumming and robust vocal harmonies ghosted by tuneful howls…”—Rolling Stone

“Harmonic, propulsive folk pop at once radiant and chilly…”—New York Magazine

“Lord Huron’s music is so impressionistic, it sometimes sounds like it emanates from a dream.”—Boston Globe

 “What sets the project apart is the level of their craft and

the feeling of travel and discovery in the lyrics and sound.”—LA Weekly

“Gut-level, emotive songwriting that hits directly and honestly.”—Pitchfork

Lord Huron made their first network television appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” and most recently performed on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Furthermore, the band has added tour dates throughout the summer, including various festival slots and a special performance with The National at Celebrate Brooklyn in Prospect Park. The new dates round out a massive year of touring for Lord Huron, including their largest U.S. headlining run, their first large-scale U.K. outing, and numerous sold out shows nationwide, in addition to appearances at major festivals including Coachella, Bonnaroo, Firefly and Newport Folk Festival, among others. See below for further details.

Originally a musical and visual solo project by lead singer and Michigan native-turned-Angeleno Ben Schneider, collaborators now include Mark Barry (percussion, vocals), Miguel Briseno (bass, percussion), and Tom Renaud (guitar, vocals). Schneider started playing music as a child—most often on summer nights around the campfire on Lake Huron. He went on to study art in college and lived in France and New York before moving to Los Angeles in 2005 to pursue a career in the visual arts. Schneider’s passion for art and music are often intertwined, and he has composed music for various visual art projects over the years. In 2010, Schneider self-released his first EP, Into the Sun, online, complete with original artwork. The songs gained traction and Schneider set to work recruiting musicians to help him translate the recordings into a live performance.
