Lord Huron



Lord Huron is a folky pop band with roots in Michigan, but based out of Los Angeles, CA. In Spring 2010 Ben Schneider escaped to Northern Michigan for a few days. There on the shores of Lake Huron where he spent much of his childhood, Ben recorded some songs. When the time came to put a band together, Ben called his old friend Mark, who had recently come off a contract aboard a cruise ship and was gigging around in Nashville. Mark packed up his drums (and other gadgets) and drove straight across the country to join Ben in Los Angeles. The pair then recruited Miguel (bass/electronics) and Peter (guitar), both of whom had performed with Mark on cruise ships in the Caribbean. Rounding out the lineup is Brett (guitar), who has been playing around Los Angeles for years. The band has released two EPs thus far and much more is expected from them. This is "The Stranger" off of their Mighty EP.
