Bio

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros is an American indie-folk collective formed in Los Angeles in 2005. The group is fronted by singer-songwriter Alex Ebert and is known for its communal, multi-instrumental approach and upbeat, roots-oriented sound. Their 2009 debut album "Up from Below" brought widespread attention with the single "Home," which became a defining indie anthem of the late 2000s. Subsequent releases such as "Here" (2012) and "PersonA" (2016) continued to explore themes of love, community, and personal transformation. The band’s rotating lineup has included vocalists Jade Castrinos, Stewart Cole, and Christian Letts, among others, reflecting its collective ethos. Their music blends folk, rock, gospel, and psychedelic influences, often delivered through exuberant live performances.
