Acoustic  |  77
How does an alternative folk band, signed to a Nashville indie label, suddenly take over the world? Well, we talk to Wesley Schultz of the Lumineers to find out! Grammy nominations, sold out tours across the globe, ad billboards everywhere you look and, of course, that foot-stomping, folksy guitar-led, mandolin plucking ‘Ho Hey’ are the by products of one simple ingredient: hard work, but Schultz still can’t believe his luck. Read our interview with folk music’s hottest property in this month’s issue. Elsewhere we’ve got interviews with former X Factor star, Matt Cardle, who’s about to embark on his first acoustic tour, Lewis Watson who’s quickly becoming the one to watch, and Passenger, also known as Mike Rosenberg. In this issue we talk a look at some great acoustics for under £500, with Sigma, Faith, James Neligan and Vintage. Which one will take home the highest star rating, and which will you be taking home? Darrell Scott, Joe Banfi and Trixie Whitley are also interviewed, Kenji Okumura is in The Workshop, and there are techniques pages from our newest columnists, Daniel Ho, Thomas Leeb, and Leon Hunt.
