Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons are one of music's most unlikely success stories. The British group broke through with a banjo-driven folk/rock sound that, Rolling Stone called, "like a horse and buggy designed in a Tesla factory." With the recent release of "Delta," their third straight #1 album, they are indisputably among the biggest bands of the past decade. Anthony Mason reports.

What an incredible band! I was introduced to them in 2017 and have been obsessed ever since. I also got to see them live last year and they're absolutely amazing live

[@kentbeery4697]

The size of your shows have changed yes but when we're up on stage looking at each other that feeling hasn't changed......right on

[@kimberley8902]

I love them!!! So talented!! I love the stories, the instruments, everything!!

[@elizabethlinsay9193]

I love your enthusiasm! It's contagious!!

[@carolineqk]

Saw them live and they are every bit as good as I could ever imagine😍

[@HeavensMyths]

I so agree, saw them last year and it was amazing.

[@Footballar09]

I saw them back in Oct of 2019 in Houston and it was one of the best experiences my life. The could not have been any better than they were. Absolutely amazing!

[@dallaspridgen9998]

I saw them 10 years ago this November at a club in Knoxville, TN and 4 more times over the last 10 years. I feel like a proud big sister watching this segment to see how far they’ve come. They never cease to make me smile ❤️

[@Lara-fn9td]

My sister dragged me to their concert (not my type of music at all) and I loved it! They are amazing in concert!

[@castielcarlysle7327]

my all time favorite folk band..first and second albums were incomparable.

[@KiStarkey]

Saw them at ACL last year. Marcus grabbed my hand during Ditmas. I had never felt more alive than in that moment lol. Seen them 4 times I look forward to all future shows! Love this band!

[@birgitwest143]

Great little clip. I learned quite a few things I didn't know before. Love these guys. So full of life, fun, creativity. Always pushing the boundaries. Loved the first two albums. Not a huge fan of number 3. Delta is a amazing. The concert last fall in Phoenix AZ was fantastic!! First time to see them live for me. Was totally worth the 6-hour drive. We got the special performance of "“The Sun Never Sets On The Cool Kids”. Hilarious. So happy for their success.

[@hannahlavergne1005]

Wow I love their music

[@daedaetinez6406]

Those guys are doing something right. I’m Puerto Rican and not too much into the blue grass stuff but, I love their music! Glad I’ve heard of them.

[@Pinoyklasikmoviesmusic]

oh I love these lads, them music makes me feel more alive.. Brilliant Interview❤️

[@meshbis]

Short but a really great interview. M&S is awesome and even more so, they are amazing live.

[@raiderskull75]

I miss the banjo boys. How I wish they wouldn't have folded under the pressure of the critics, and kept it country/alternative/bluegrass/folk. There was something More humble, manly and rustic about that sound, But I guess they have to change with the times. wish them much more success.

[@Footballar09]

I do share a similar sentiment, but I don't think it was media or critic pressure at all. They are my absolute favorite band and when I saw them back in October, right at the front, I realized that even the songs I connected with less (mainly those on the third album) were other people's favorites songs that really impacted him, and they sang every word, as did I. I've listened to their first album hundreds of times and still get something new from it. However, I think the band evolved naturally and you can see the dedication to their music in every single live performance. Their newest album was somewhat strange at first but when you get into it, you realize that really brings all of the different strands of music they've touched over the years together. The live show I saw was just incredible and better than I could have imagined. Although there was more production, more glimmer, shiny lights, and fireworks, it never took away from the same heart of incredible souls that have touched millions through their melodies and lyrics. All that to say, they have done everything from a genuine place and it shows in how they perform.

[@colehowerton1956]

Marcus said the sound change came from within the band itself, not from any pressure. They wanted to evolve, and they did a fantastic job.

[@joaniec6178]

If posh people can be considered humble and rustic...

[@k_dellz]

They are so real and I'm happy they didn't have to deal with a mega studio and recording company!!

[@cjr1725]

We needed more. #AgoraLove to Mumford

[@karend4526]

So fun! I recently saw them in a tiny theater in Taipei and it was super intimate and fun! Much MUCH smaller venue than what they are used to playing I'm sure. But it was a blast and everyone was pretty close. Marcus even ran through the crowd and played at the back of th audience!

[@jazzstandardman]

I wish I had known they came to Taiwan. We were there 2012 to 2019.

[@Michellethompson5231]

Best music group ever!!

[@andreakoranyi9335]

Yes!!!🤗🤗🤗 My favourite since 2011 😍😍

[@bryahnatate6705]

Someday in the future I will meet the Mumford & Sons and I always miss the concert when I come to Boston Massachusetts I just want a private concert just me and the Mumford & Sons so badly

[@Winterbaby1977]

Love them so much.

[@briangarrow448]

Beautiful music.

[@shelly2758]

Class act. Rock on ! 🤘🏻

[@mt9942]

Working with various traumas Enduring and endearing

[@lynnriddell1562]

Best group ever 😍😍😍

[@grizzlygoat8273]

Skipped seeing them on a small stage at Bonnaroo to go see the Avett Brothers on a different stage. It was one of the hardest decisions of my life. I love the Avetts but I would have made a different decision today.

[@kevinkress4073]

I wish Avetts and Mumford would tour together!

[@theshogunstein6475]

saw them for 10$ right before they broke big in Phoenix

[@laurakelly3647]

Love them. Amazing band. F❤️❤️king Legends 🤘🏻🙌

[@gavinhelgeson2880]

[@debbralehrman5957]

I so enjoy there music. But for some reason I had a hard time remembering their name at first. I don't now.

[@lendavoice60]

❤️

[@cjgardner8516]

Could almost be an American roots band

[@susieenglish302]

As with all good music its rooted in poetry

[@1jackroo]

The US love them, but so does the U.K. I do anyway xx

[@hobbybaggard6311]

Good to be alive aye Ted! I like your music, get rid of the raining confetti of garbage. Or clean it up yourself.

[@jefvarnadore2267]

Too bad the banjo 🪕 player is gone

[@dalex60]

All recording artists today owe their success to “payola”. Unless an artist’s record company is cutting checks to radio stations, the radio listening public will never hear their music. “Payola” is accounted for in the record company’s ledgers as, “artist support”. Record company’s “support” dictates what we hear on the radio.... Sad...

[@louisrios5546]

He says without evidence, and by strangely assuming that radio is still the primary way that musicians get discovered. Ever hear of Spotify, or maybe KZbin??

[@dalex60]

Louis Rios - I worked in accounting for a major label. There’s my evidence... Justin Bieber was “Discovered” on KZbin, but I guarantee his songs didn’t get any airplay until his label started cutting checks. Why do you think the radio stations play certain songs 50 million times a day?? Next time, think, instead of reacting with your over emotional state before posting a response... Bienvenidos al mundo real Louis...

[@dalex60]

Louis Rios - pay·o·la /pāˈōlə/ the practice of bribing someone to use their influence or position to promote a particular product or interest. "if a record company spends enough money on payola, it can make any record a hit"

[@artespinturaanaestrela2607]

😘

[@andrewarmstrong1017]

Delta 4th Album not the 3rd.... 😉

[@jammer3618]

Sold out shows! Has nothing to do with $$$ does it😊😊😊😊?

[@ingridking9140]

[@punahelevalentine6988]

[@tripjet999]

Showing how bad Top-40 music has gotten...

[@FloridaMan69.]

gross band

[@minecraftsteve2504]

Lol

[@tinagissal4144]

Then why you here? Bye bye.

[@theamishsoylentretailersof1952]

I'm just here for & Sons........ Mumford himself is vastly overrated. Just Saying
