Stelth Ulvang never slows down. With blistered fingers, worn vocal cords, and pockets of tattered ticket-stubs and notebooks, Stelth tours the globe fulltime with the Lumineers. As their barefoot piano-player and multi-instrumentalist, Stelth is never still - running up stadium seats with his accordion, striking marching drum and mandolin, or serenading the crowds from the highest of balconies.

But Stelth's perpetual movement began years ago, when he wandered aboard a sail-boat called the Dove, and co-founded the band Dovekins. Self-taught and always learning, Stelth brings a spirit of change to his own writings - songs about the stars and spaces between us. His vulnerable travel-tales syncopate with his barrel-house piano riffs, hands flying over keys, strings, and cords, in an unpredictable juggling act of instruments and styles. He is a moment maker, in the living rooms, basements, venues and back-yards of America. He reveals something both grand and quiet, with the same brush of bluish grey that circles the sun on a late afternoon on a Colorado February - through all his wanderings, he is ever-loyal to the sound and the soul of his home.

    "Stelth Ulvang who is a solo artist in his own right. For a very short-notice stint filling in, Ulvang managed to literally win over the entire room after playing for about half an hour.- His songs are intricately detailed lyrics and have a delicate feel to them but his delivery is empowered and assured. Even his awkward attempt at bantering about meat pies and being in Australia and how surreal it was just endeared him to the crowd even more. I suspect we will be hearing more from this young gent soon." The AU Review, Sydney, Australia 

    "Ulvang bounded around the stage with all the energy and soul of a man possessed. A highly entertaining way to open a gig, no doubt extra special for the punter hoisted on stage to play piano" PagesDigital.com 

    "Ulvang’s solo material is very piano-centric, with his considerable skill on several other instruments creating a lush, multilayered sound. With his fascinating voice, he can both croon and raggedly shout…" City Weekly, Salt Lake City 

    "Ulvang leaps barefoot around the stage like a manic musical imp, shaking maracas, booting his piano stool off the podium and tinkling the ivories with his toes." Daily Mail, London
