Folk Rock vs. Old Time Music vs. Indie Rock vs. Banjo Music

I am confused how this group is classified as a folk rock as opposed to indie rock or even old-time music. How are these classifications/genres assigned? If a group has music that bleeds into other genres, should they be limited to one?Gray106 (talk) 17:51, 26 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Good question. "Indie rock" can mean so, so, so many things. "Old time music" doesn't mean much of anything in particular. "Folk rock" is simply the best descriptor.50.132.207.101 (talk) 05:50, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Indie status

Just a question really but should the reference to The Lumineers' status as being an "indie" be updated/added to? I ask this because they seem to have been signed up with Decca records. If this is true and they have signed such a contract it might be better to include more details of this and link to information about the term "indie"? http://www.decca.com/artists/the-lumineers. Just thought it was something to consider. PiOfCube (talk) 10:56, 22 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Gender

I mostly want to know the gender of the members of this group, but since the individuals don't have their own pages, that information isn't readily available. I know at least one of them is male, but I think one of them might be female. It's hard to guess based only on their names. TBWarrior720 (talk) 05:46, 24 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Members

Why are there no former members listed on this page?

Also, linking the members to their pages in a band members list is exempt to overlinking. dannymusiceditor ^oops 15:34, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The past members are in the Infobox and mentioned in the body of the article.

Infobox:

Past members

Neyla Pekarek

Maxwell Hughes

Ben Wahamaki

Jay Van Dyke

From the article:

Cellist and vocalist Neyla Pekarek joined the band in 2010, and was a member until 2018.

As a three-piece, The Lumineers met Maxwell Hughes at an open mic event in Denver. Hughes suggested joining the band as a mandolin accompaniment; he played and toured as an unofficial fourth member, and contributed to the band's debut album. However, the band was not looking for a permanent fourth member at the time, and Hughes and The Lumineers parted ways.

"Scotland" is co-written by and features a performance from Jason "Jay" Van Dyke, who played sometimes with Schultz and Fraites before their move to Denver.

That's not enough. The number of members in this band is reasonable enough to have a full list in the members section, including ex-members. dannymusiceditor ^oops 17:44, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Also, who's this "Ben Wahamaki" character? He's not mentioned outside of the infobox. I can see that maybe your concern is behind the timeline in which the former members played with them. We can find a way around that or find more sources. dannymusiceditor ^oops 17:52, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
