British folk rock band known for their banjo-driven anthems and introspective lyrics.Formed in London in 2007, the band comprises Marcus Mumford, Ben Lovett, Winston Marshall, and Ted Dwane. They gained global fame with their debut album 'Sigh No More' (2009), blending folk, rock, and bluegrass. Their Grammy-winning album 'Babel' (2012) topped charts worldwide. After a hiatus and sonic evolution toward electric instrumentation with 'Wilder Mind' (2015), they returned to folk roots in 'Delta' (2018). Despite lineup changes, including Marshall's departure in 2021, the group continues touring and recording.

• Winston Marshall left the band permanently in 2021 after backlash for praising right-wing journalist Andy Ngo's book on Twitter, calling it a 'difficult decision' to avoid distracting from their music.
• Marcus Mumford revealed in 2022 he was sexually abused at age six, channeling this trauma into his solo album '(self-titled)'.
• The band's name originated as an inside joke, humorously suggesting Marcus Mumford was the 'son' of an imaginary music-biz dynasty.
• Their 2013 documentary 'Gentlemen of the Road' captured chaotic global touring, including a train derailment during their US tour.
