Passenger

Passenger is a British folk rock band that was established in 2003 in Brighton and Hove, England. It was fronted by Mike Rosenberg, the main vocalist and songwriter of the band, and Andrew Phillips. The band was at various times a quartet and a quintet.

The Passenger debut album Wicked Man's Rest was released in 2007 on Chalkmark. All 11 tracks of the album were co-written by Andrew Phillips and Mike Rosenberg. Soon after the release of the album, the band broke up when Andrew Phillips left in 2009.

After the band's break-up, Mike Rosenberg continued his solo career using the name 'Passenger' as his moniker, releasing the albums Wide Eyes Blind Love (2009), Flight of the Crow (2010), and the critically acclaimed All the Little Lights (2012). He also released a fan-only limited edition Divers and Submarines in 2010.

"Let Her Go" was recorded at Sydney's Linear Recording and co-produced by Mike Rosenberg and Chris Vallejo. The song features a band of Australian musicians Stu Larsen, Georgia Mooney, Stu Hunter, Cameron Undy and Glenn Wilson.

"Let Her Go" was released in July 2012 as the second single from Passenger's third album All the Little Lights. In early 2013, the song broke through in Europe and Oceania, reaching number-one in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, making it his first international success.
