The Luminous

About Me


ABOUT THE BAND
Born out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, The Luminous is a national touring band appearing at various festivals such as Big Ticket Festival, Dirt Fest, and Creation Fest. Bringing back the old-school sounds of punk with a flavor of raw grunge, The Luminous combines positive and purpose driven lyrics with gut punching musical energy.
This upcoming band consists of three young working class musicians: Jacob Ritchie on lead vocals and lead guitar; John Harag on bass guitar and backing vocals; and Dan Reitmeyer on drums and percussion.
The Luminous completed their first demo in May of 2008 which has been cleverly titled “The Luminous EP”. It consists of 5-tracks out of their catalog of original music and lyrics. While on the road, Jacob, Dan and John continuously collaborate to create new music for a full length album in the future. You can listen to their music on any of The Luminous sites.
