Comprising Marcus Mumford (vocals, guitar, drums), Ben Lovett (keyboards, accordion, vocals), and Ted Dwane (bass, vocals), the band quickly garnered critical acclaim and a dedicated fanbase with their debut album, Sigh No More, released in 2009. This seminal record introduced the world to their signature sound: heartfelt lyrics delivered with raw passion, intricate banjo and mandolin melodies, and a powerful, driving rhythm section that builds to explosive crescendies.

Their sophomore album, Babel (2012), propelled them to even greater heights, debuting at number one in both the UK and the US and earning them a Grammy Award for Album of the Year.
