There have been a number of lineup changes along the way: Simone Felice long ago left the group, and for the past eight years the band has been anchored by bassist Jesske Hume and drummer Will Lawrence. Still, James and Ian Felice have been writing songs that have shaped both their peers and younger musicians. <em>Felice County Fair<\/em> is a testament of that enduring influence.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-embed-handler wp-block-embed-embed-handler\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Lumineers, Felice County Fair - The Kid (Official Audio)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/3qWI1z-mS2M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cThey\u2019ve been this underground secret,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/the-lumineers\/\" id=\"auto-tag_the-lumineers\" data-tag=\"the-lumineers\">the Lumineers<\/a>\u2019 Wesley Schultz tells <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cAnd we don\u2019t want them to be the best kept secret in music anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBright Eyes and the Lumineers, two groups that have long ranked among the Felice Brothers\u2019 biggest champions, provide the first two offerings from the album: The Lumineers\u2019 tackle the 2017 song \u201cThe Kid,\u201d which Schultz first heard after attending the Felice Brothers\u2019 annual New Year\u2019s Eve shows in Kingston, New York, while Bright Eyes interpret \u201cWonderful Life.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-content-image \/\/  \">\n<figure class=\"o-figure   size-large alignnone lrv-u-max-width-100p\" style=\"width:1024px\">\n<div class=\"c-lazy-image  lrv-u-border-a-2\">\n<div class=\"lrv-a-crop-16x9\" style=\"padding-bottom:calc((1024\/1024)*100%);\">\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div><figcaption class=\"c-figcaption  lrv-u-flex lrv-u-flex-direction-column lrv-u-align-items-center\">\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\t\u201cThere\u2019s a lot said with very little,\u201d Schultz says of \u201cThe Kid.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s like Steinbeck.

You think about a song like a weapon and these blunt sledgehammers move people, but they don\u2019t get the same reaction as a very small dagger that can get past your ribs and into your heart. You have to choose the weapon. Sometimes these weapons move the masses. But when it\u2019s little and it gets you so deep in there, the people who have heard it don\u2019t forget it.\u2026 [The song] changed my perception about drug addiction and empathy for people through songwriting.
