Marcus Mumford on Tour
Marcus Mumford is a British-American singer, multi-instrumentalist and producer best known for his many years performing with folk-rock greats Mumford & Sons.
Born in 1987 in Yorba Linda, California, Mumford moved back to the UK with his family as a baby and grew up in Wimbledon Chase, London. While studying at King's College School, he met future bandmate Ben Lovett. In his first year at the University of Edinburgh, he recorded Mumford & Sons' standout debut album Sigh No More (2009), which featured singles "Little Lion Man," "Winter Winds," "The Cave," and "Roll Away Your Stone."
Prior to that, Mumford (along with other members of his band) toured with Laura Marling, with Mumford on percussion.
Two years after the release of Sigh No More, Mumford made Forbes' 30 Under 30 list, which also included Adele and Rihanna that year. Mumford & Sons have released three more albums: 2012's Babel, 2015's Wilder Mind and 2018's Delta.
In 2013, Mumford contributed a cover of the folk classic "Fare Thee Well (Dink's Song)" for the 2013 period film Inside Llewyn Davis. In 2014, Mumford appeared on the collaborative album Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes alongside other artists such as Elvis Costello, Rhiannon Giddens, Taylor Goldsmith, Jim James, Jay Bellerose, and T Bone Burnett.
As a producer, Mumford has produced Christian Letts' (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros) 2015 album Hold Fast. He also co-wrote four tracks for the record: "Copper Bells," "La Mer," "Emeralds," and "Matches."
Mumford has also contributed instrumentals to a number of tracks from his contemporaries, including on Taylor Swift's "Cowboy Like Me" (from 2020's Evermore) and Tom Morello's 2018 track "Find Another Way." His vocals are featured on Major Lazer's 2020 song "Lay Your Head On Me." He also wrote the theme song for the hit TV show "Ted Lasso," which premiered on Apple TV+ in 2020.
In July 2022, Mumford announced his debut solo album Self-Titled would be out that fall. Produced by Blake Mills, Self-Titled features guest spots from Brandi Carlile, Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo, and Monica Martin. Its lead single is "Cannibal," which has a video directed by Steven Spielberg.

Everything about this concert was exceptional 10/10. The location; Massey Hall - the acoustics and the upgrade to Massey are out of this world. Such a great place to listen to live music and Marcus embraced it all. He was funny, engaged with the audience and down to earth. He played a mixture of his new music, some Mumford and Sons and some cover songs, Neil Young and Taylor Swift. His opening act "The A's" were a fun opening act and Marcus brought them out to sing with him a few times as well. At one point Mumford sang without a microphone which was authentic and pure. He was so happy to be at Massey Hall and it showed throughout the performance. I keep thinking and reflecting on the night and realize how special it was to see Marcus Mumford perform in such a small venue. I can't wait for him to come back!!!!
Marcus Mumford has the most beautiful voice and range I very much enjoyed the musical interactions with his band Such talent I also enjoyed the intimacy of the venue No matter where you sat even from the upper balcony You could see and hear so clearly ☺
Amazing venue ~ Marcus Mumford made us laugh, he made us cry, he made us feel like we were on stage with him! Great set list of songs that kept you wanting more.
I can’t thank Marcus Mumford enough for sharing his solo album, Self-titled. It is a raw and real story of sexual abuse and he was strong enough to share his story. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
Seeing Marcus Mumford at Massey Hall was an amazing experience! Not a bad seat in the house and Marcus sounded incredible. Such an awesome show!
Marcus’ beautiful vocals at such an intimate venue was such great fun. I had goosebumps throughout the show!
Decided to attend this concert on the day of, and scored one of the last tickets available. I definitely did not regret this decision. MM performed with pure entertainment and talent. It was one of those concert you didn’t want to end.
Ah-mazing! Marcus brought the happiest, warmest energy to the room (Massey Hall looks gorgeous post renos). Between humor and full on rocking out, you could hear a pin drop during intimate accoustic moments. With a hint of Munford and Sons, this concert was one of the best Marcus performances I've heard. Worth the miles travelled from Montreal to Tdot.
The venue was amazing, the song set included some of the And Sons songs and Marcus sounded amazing!!
