Holiday Harmony: The Lumineers' Bittersweet Take on the Classic, "Deck the Halls”
The Lumineers are Bringing Festive Cheer with 'Deck the Halls' – A Contribution to Mental Wellness in Music.
December 1st, 2023
The Lumineers are ringing in the holiday season with a twist of philanthropy and soul-stirring music. They've breathed new life into the classic carol "Deck the Halls," recording a mesmerizing version during their recent tour in Argentina. This isn't just another holiday tune; it's a heartwarming act of giving back. The proceeds from streaming and downloading this special single are pledged to Backline, an organization dedicated to linking music industry pros and their families with essential mental health and wellness resources.
Today marks the day "Deck the Halls" hits all DSPs and streaming services, bringing a touch of The Lumineers’ unique charm to your festive playlist.
Wesley Schultz of The Lumineers shares his thoughts on this new release: “We are happy to release ‘Deck The Halls’ for the holidays. Maybe it’s the idea of soft winter snow gently falling, quieting the streets, or the short days with limited sunshine, but we always gravitate towards creating the most stripped-down versions of holiday songs. Someday we’re going to release the saddest Christmas album ever! But on a serious note, we are proud to partner with Backline. Their work is vital.”
This holiday season, The Lumineers are not just filling the air with festive tunes; they're making a meaningful difference in the lives of those who bring music to our lives. "Deck the Halls" isn't just a song; it's a beacon of hope and support for the mental wellness of the music community.
About The Lumineers:
With 24 #1 hits across a range of radio formats, The Lumineers have quickly risen to the ranks of the world’s most beloved bands of any genre. Having started out in small clubs and open mics the band has become a touring juggernaut, selling out arenas throughout the world. The band first entered the international stage in 2012 with their breakthrough song, “Ho Hey,” the first single from their self-titled debut. The album itself proved to be huge sensation, rising to #2 on the SoundScan/Billboard 200 on its way to 3x RIAA platinum certification in the U.S. and Canada and a prestigious pair of GRAMMY® Award nominations including “Best New Artist.” CLEOPATRA followed in 2016, debuting at #1 on album charts in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom on route to RIAA platinum in the U.S. and 2x platinum certification in Canada. The Lumineers’ third album, the cinematic and inventive III, proved a critical and popular phenomenon upon its September 2019 release, highlighted by such singles as “Life In The City” and “Gloria,” both of which lit up multi-format radio outlets across the country, with “Gloria” topping the charts at Americana, Adult Alternative, and Alternative, including six consecutive weeks at #1 on the latter chart. The band released their fourth album BRIGHTSIDE in January 2022. The album was top ten in both the U.S. and Canada and the title track reached Number 1 on Billboard’s Alternative National Airplay and Adult Alternative Airplay charts—the sixth time the band has topped the latter chart in less than 10 years. The Brightside World Tour saw over 1.1 million tickets sold across 120 cities, 29 countries and 6 continents including two record-breaking sold-out stadium shows at Coors Field in Denver and Wrigley Field in Chicago. The band achieved the highest-attended concert at Coors Field and broke their own record by grossing $3.6 Million at Wrigley Field.
