“The loving work of kids chasing pure soul with whatever tools are at hand.” -Dennis Cook, Jambase
We are beyond excited to announce that San Jose’s own The Mumlers will be joining the line up on May 15th! Be sure not to miss this seven member band, who along with their eclectic mix of vintage instruments and indie-folk sound are sure to please adoring fans.
A few more thoughts on the Mumlers said around town:
“…the seven-man band (complete with French horn, stand-up bass, organs and more) creates a lazy, sunny, brassy, funky, Tom-Waits-meets-Bob-Dylan-under-a-circus-tent-atmosphere that might find its way into either a Wes Anderson or David Lynch soundtrack with equal ease.” -Slap Magazine
“During the course of a single composition on The Mumlers’ debut Thickets & Stitches a lot can happen: French horns wander in and out, pianos roll by out of nowhere, acoustic guitars start and stop, Middle Eastern rhythms snake through and accordions make unannounced cameos. Hailing from San Jose, California, this seven-member collective are one of the most charming bands around.” -caughtinthecarousel.com
Armed with their collection of vintage instruments, the seven members of the haphazard indie-folk collective The Mumlers will head up the Mini Main Stage. They Brought together by singer/songwriter Will Sprott, The Mumlers feature a collection of every instrument under the sun: French horn, guitars, drums, upright bass, keyboards, trumpet, pedal steel and the tambourine, to name a few. San Jose favorites’ The Mumlers consistently put on a raucous good time.
