Everything is Illuminated

The 250 + crowd wrapped around the aisles of Twist and Shout Friday and continues outdoors in the rain to wait for the Lumineer's preview performance before the show at the Bluebird. The three person Denver-based band humbly greeted the crowd (an hour late), but the music proved worth the wait.



On the third song, Wesley (lead vocals) recruited a young child to hold the glockenspiel( ) for Jeremiah and commissioned the crowd to enthusiasticly shout the chorus.  

At the Bluebird...It's nice to unexpectedly hear some actual rock. Joe Pug opened the evening with powerful guitar riffs and set the night off right.  The Lumineers produced a soundtrack fit for countryside revelry despite Friday's gloomy weather. Apparently the space at previous shows, such as at the Meadowlark and like-locales, did not allow for a drumset. Finally, Lumineer's Jeremiah (drummer, tamborine shaker, yelper) got to prove his worth and show his range of skills. 

Don't miss this show if you have a chance to go...tickets will sell out.
