Mumford and Sons

Have I mentioned how much I LOVE Mumford & Sons?!

Well, as you're reading this, I'm on my way to the Telluride Bluegrass Festival to enjoy some of their music!!

A few years ago, the lead singer, Marcus Mumford, spent almost an entire year working at our church and many of us became great friends with him. I have many fun memories and pictures of his time here. There are many things that stood out about him - including his British wit - but the most remarkable thing about him by far was his musical ability. He was - and still is - one of the best drummers I've ever worked with or seen...and his guitar playing and singing were top notch too.

So, it wasn't at all surprising when he went back to England for University and instead, formed what is now Mumford & Sons. He is the lead singer, lead guitar player and, at times, as in the video below, plays both the drums and the guitar while he is singing and leading the band. Simply amazing. They're lyrics are stellar and their sound is fantastic.

I'm SO excited to actually, finally see them live (instead of on the internet or the Late Show with David Letterman). :)

Enjoy!
