There are relatively simple circumstances surrounding the origins and subsequent journey of Ben Schneider, the frontman/spark plug of atmospheric Americana outfit Lord Huron. Schneider, a native of Okemos, Mich., spent childhood summers on Lake Huron’s beaches, and those evocative reveries eventually seeped into his musical consciousness as he explored that side of his creative identity after college at the University of Michigan, knocking around France, New York City and Los Angeles. Adapting his band name from the Great Lake that fired his imagination, Schneider began his musical career with a handful of quietly engaging EPs, and when interest swelled to the point of fans wanting to witness an actual band performance, he called in friends from Michigan to fulfill that role in 2010.
