The Lumineers – 2013 Coachella Must-See Artists
Like Alex Clare, the Lumineers got a big boost from a television commercial, but with its catchy tune and folksy appeal, ‘Ho Hey’ likely would have become a hit even without the added exposure. After all, as founding member Jeremiah Fraites says, “Great music is like a fungus; once it grows on you it’s hard to get it off...
Jessie Ware – 2013 Coachella Must-See Artists
Many critics have called British songbird Jessie Ware the next Adele or Sade. If that alone isn’t enough reason to catch her set at Coachella, consider that she’s been nominated for MOBO and BRIT Awards, as well as the Mercury Music Prize, for her acclaimed debut, ‘Devotion...
