Gentlemen Of The Road

Mumford and Sons - I Will Wait

Here is the trailer for a documentary coming out soon featuring Mumford and Sons.

3 bands, 6 cities, 1 train, and thousands of miles of track…BIG EASY EXPRESS captures an incredible musical journey. Harkening back to the days of jubilant railroad revivals, of steam and steel, three bands set out in April 2011 to tour America by vintage train. L.A.’s Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros, Nashville boys Old Crow Medicine Show, and Londoners Mumford & Sons climbed aboard amid the massive rail yards of Oakland and set out for New Orleans on a “tour of dreams.” Stopping along the way to play sold-out shows in spots as diverse as San Pedro, California, and Marfa, Texas, BIG EASY EXPRESS documents the bands’ vibrant railway adventures; the high canyons, joyous crowds, blasted skies, late-night laughter, endless music…and a train that was bound for glory.

Laura Barton will be interviewing Marcus Mumford from Mumford & Sons at The Guardian open weekend on 24-25 March 2012. They will discuss his passion for community and how it will weave into their plans for 2012. Go check it out if you're around!
