Originally from Massachusetts and raised by artist parents, San Fermin founder Ellis Ludwig-Leone began making music at age eight and later studied music composition at Yale University. After a job assisting composer Nico Muhly, he founded the band, who went on to release their full-length, self-titled debut album in 2013, which NPR called “one of the year’s most ambitious, evocative, and moving records.”

The band’s sophomore album, Jackrabbit, arrived in April 2015 and paved the way for their
third, Belong, which will be released this April.

San Fermin will play at The Sugar Club on May 18. Tickets €16.50 on sale tomorrow at 9am from Ticketmaster.
