Mumford and Sons
Banjo folk group
Mumford and Sons is a British folk rock band formed in 2007, known for banjo-driven anthems and emotionally earnest lyrics.
Their sound helped spark a early-2010s folk revival, with songs like "Little Lion Man" and "I Will Wait" achieving mainstream success.
The name combines lead singer Marcus Mumford's surname with a nod to traditional family business names.
