Wesley Schultz, Jeremiah Fraites and Neyla Pekarek returned to the fore this year with their new folk-rock album Cleopatra, following the success of the trio'sdebut CD in 2012.

They are on the road for a European tour, which includes a headline show at Birmingham's O2 Academy on Sunday.

The Grammy-nominated band formed in 2002, though didn't experience success until 2012. Schultz says: "You're lucky to make a good album every once in a while and you just hope it gets heard."
