Mumford and Sons

Hey, everyone! Have you ever seen Mumford and Sons in concert?
I saw them in Chicago last summer, and the concert was fantastic!
They played for almost two hours-some old stuff, but lots of
songs from newer albums like Babel. Their blues-rock style music
is loud, fast, and great for dancing. I thought Marcus Mumford's t l

vocals were excellent, and he's also a great guitarist. And of

course, Ted Dwane is an amazing drummer. So if you get a chance
to see them, you should definitely go for it!
