The Lumineers performs at the 2013 Newport Folk Festival.

The Lumineers may have on the pop scene out of nowhere — scoring a worldwide hit with the band's self-titled 2012 debut album and its multimillion-selling single "Ho Hey" — but the Denver group had tooled around in obscurity for quite a few years before its breakthrough. These days, though, it's one of the biggest folk-rock outfits in the business, joining a suspenders-clad Mount Rushmore with the likes of Mumford & Sons.

Hear The Lumineers perform songs from its ubiquitous debut as part of the 2013 Newport Folk Festival, recorded live on Sunday, July 28 in Newport, R.I.
