Lord Huron was created by Los Angeles-based artist Ben Schneider in 2010. After writing and recording two independent EPs (Into the Sun and Mighty) on his own, demand grew for Lord Huron to perform live. Schneider recruited friends Mark Barry (percussion), Miguel Briseño (bass) and Tom Renaud (guitar). Having first played music together at the tender age of 12, the group reunited and quickly hit their stride, transforming the project into a full-fledged live band. Lord Huron's debut LP Lonesome Dreams was released in 2012 followed by Strange Trails in 2015. The latter featured the multi-platinum single “The Night We Met,” which has gone on to become one of Spotify’s Top 40 most-streamed songs of all time. In 2018, Lord Huron earned widespread critical acclaim and a Top 5 debut on the Billboard Top 200 with their third album, Vide Noir.  Lord Huron's most recent LP Long Lost garnered praise from NPR, Time, Los Angeles Times, Spin and Stereogum and sparked performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Late Late Show with James Corden and CBS This Morning: Saturday. The band’s extensive touring includes headline shows at some of the most storied venues in the country (including the Hollywood Bowl, Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and the Ryman Auditorium) and festivals ranging from Coachella and Lollapalooza to Bonnaroo, Outside Lands and more.
