Wesley Schultz - co-founder of The Lumineers - will step out on his own with the release of his debut solo album Vignettes on Oct. 30.
Vignettes brings together a slew of covers, including material by Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Sheryl Crow and more.
“This album is pulling from a lot of different threads of my past. ‘My City in Ruins,’ ‘Boots of Spanish Leather,’ ‘The Ballad of Lou the Welterweight,’ those are all songs I was covering in bars, way back when I was living in Brooklyn in 2008," Schultz explained via press release. "That was within days of when I’d written [The Lumineers hits] ‘Ho Hey’ and ‘Life In The City’ and ‘Flowers In Your Hair,’ all in this same little apartment. It was a rich time for me creatively and these covers were sort of informing my songwriting, just studying all these different artists."
