mumford and sons
. Monday, February 14, 2011

VivaOke-Bob Dylan joined the members of two rising-star bands in his genre on the Grammy stage, growling through a rousing hootenanny version of 'Maggie's Farm.'

Mumford and Sons Mumford and Sons kicked off the segment with 'The Cave,' literally shaking the stage the only way a small folk band could -- with lots of foot-stomping and a three-piece brass section blowing jubilant orchestral harmonies.

Mumford and Sons is one such band.
Led by Marcus Mumford on vocals, the "Sons" and Mumford are versatile in their contributions to the band's sound. Mumford (who also plays guitar and drums), Ben Lovett (keyboard, accordion, drums), Ted Dwane (banjo and dobro) and Country Winston Marshall (drums and string bass) make up the group and all lend their vocal talents. The use of instruments that are practically foreign from most country and rock music helps account for the band's distinctive style and sound.
With the release of their first album, "Sigh No More," in February 2010, the London band hit rock radio stations with their first single, "Little Lion Man" that November, as fans anxiously waited for the band to gain well- deserved recognition. This initial hit captured a big following through the quartet's catchy folk sound unique to mainstream rock.
It picks up about two minutes in, with sounds of the banjo and trumpet offering a background of big band-like sound.
A seductive tone introduces "The Cave," as guitar riffs and Mumford's relatable lyrics hit you. "Timshel," the album track following "Little Lion Man," offers an inspirational folk ballad as the quartet sings of unity and support from loved ones during tough times.
