Clean Ocean Action
I remember the first time I ever heard about Clean Ocean Action. It was a few years back, and I just started my career as a local musician. Because I was new, I naturally looked up to the other great and well know bands in the Asbury Park area. My father told me that DeSol and P Dub Assassins were playing a benefit concert on the boardwalk in Asbury Park. I loved both of these bands and still do...

Happy Holidays
Hello to the people. How are you all doing today? I hope you guys are enjoying the holidays and are in the festive mood! December is my favorite time of year, not just because there is Christmas and New Years, but also my birthday :) … and more importantly being around my family. Everyone just seems to be in a better mood this time of year. My family are not the type of people to make some...
#159!
Hello to the people…
A few blogs back I mentioned that I was starting a radio campaign for my single, “Sunshine”. Well…SO FAR, SO GOOD! A bunch of stations have really been into the single and digging the rest of my latest CD, ‘Speak’…Woodstock, NY, Baltimore, MD, Charlotte, NC, Salt Lake City, UT, Cleveland, OH. I am excited that these stations have been so receptive to my...

What’s up What’s up,
Mr. Mumford here. It has been a little while since a message has gone out to you guys with some updates. As the days get colder, my creative flow starts to come back into play. I was kinda bummed that I barely wrote any songs all summer long. Shouldn’t summer be the best time to write? To make up for the lack of writing, I wrote a ton of new songs these...

New Jams
So, I have been listening to a really cool artist lately. Some of you will know him and some will not. He goes by the name of Brett Dennen! He has been around for a while now, but it was not until recently that I stated listening to him. He is a killer song writer! Check out the video below of a song called “Ain’t No Reason”. I have been putting this song on repeat for a week...

LIFTED APPAREL
Some of you may know, and some of you may not know at all, but I started a clothing company last year called Lifted Apparel. The idea came into my mind a long time ago. I’m not talking about the name, but the idea to create some cool and comfortable clothing for people to wear. I have actually always wanted to do this for as long as I can remember. I had a...
NEW SONGS
So… I have been doing this really awesome workshop in New York City run by the company BMI. I think I have mentioned this workshop in one of my past blogs, but I wanted to talk a little about what I am getting out of the class.
What is cool about this workshop, is that everyone attending it comes from all different musical backgrounds. Some are artist that play out on a regular...

Mumf on the Radio
What’s up all…
I just wanted to throw the love out to WBJB 90.5 The Night. This radio station is awesome! I have known the DJ’s at this station for a long time, and they have always had my back. I remember when I first started playing out at open mic’s, before I made my first album, one of the DJ’s from 90.5 was working at the bar where I was playing. Just before I released my first...

Vermont.
Hey ya’ll,
I’m writing this week’s blog from Barnard, Vermont. You might be asking yourself, “are you playing up there, some sort of festival, or tour?” Nope, I’m just chillin out and enjoying some good ol’ Vermont relaxing time. I come up here from time to time, to escape the headaches of society and enjoy mother nature at its finest.
Fall in Vermont is absolutely amazing. They call it Peak...
SOLO TOUR
So some of you might know that I have been on tour this past week by myself. It has been an amazing experience so far, and I wanted to share it with all of you.
I started the tour in East Stroudsburg, PA. I have played at the college ESU a few times, and it is always a good time, this time was no different. Cool spot and cool people for sure. The next day, I backtracked to NYC for an amazing BMI...

My New Favorite Band
Hello to the people. I have been listening to a lot of new music to get inspired for a whole new direction for song writing. I wanted to share with you a band that has blown me away. They go by the name of “Rubblebucket”. They are amazing!
These guys are extremely experimental, but in a way that everyone can understand. They bring a whole new dimension when it comes to song writing....
Airports and Cars
People that know me, know that half of the time I am a pretty mellow guy. The other half tends to be pretty energetic when it comes to playing live, surfing, skating, or snowboarding. Regardless of my normal personality, I rarely lose my cool. There are pretty much only two places that I tend blow steam from my ears, in my car and in an airport. Lets start with my car.
Ok, so I have come to the...

Greetings from Sweden!
Hello my people, my friends, ‘The Reason Why’! Greetings from Sweden! Over the past few weeks I have been over seas in Sweden. I took the opportunity to see another part of the world. I have not traveled to far outside of the States, besides Canada for the occasional snowboard trip. I found myself in the middle of Scandinavia!

New Music to be Found
I am constantly trying to find new music to listen to, inspire me, and motivate me to try something new. There is always new music to be found, because there is a retarded amount of music out there. Every spring about 1 million new band websites enter the cyber world (great for listeners, not so great for other musicians). That is beside the point. I am really posting this blog to show you guys...

G. Love
So not to long ago I had a really awesome experience in my life. I got to hang out and jam with one of my biggest inspirations, G.Love. Alright, so here is how it all went down…
The band and I just finished up a great outdoor gig in Red Bank. I knew that G.love was coming to town, through a good friend and amazing artist Jay Alders. He was playing in an hour at a cool little theater in Manasquan....
On The Road
One thing that I really love about being a musician, is being on the road. Sure, everyone loves there hometown gigs, but nothing beats being on the road, heading to new cities. I don’t need to be on a 50 stop tour, or on a fancy tour bus; a few dates in our smell van does just fine. That’s one thing i love about touring, is the van. Ours is called “The Primetime” . No...

Strings
OK,
So I’ve been having this problem lately. It has to do with my guitar. Well, a part of the guitar that is added to produce vibration and sound. I’m talking about the strings, and how much I hate to change them. It doesn’t even take a long time, but it’s the action of thinking about maybe changing then. Why don’t I just change them when I have down time or before my next show? Maybe its because...

Spring Emotions
Spring has Sprung….
And I’m not to happy about it. I think that spring is a beautiful time of year, but there is always ONE thing that bothers me. ALLERGIES! Holy shit they suck. It is a pain in the ass to leave my house. And its a bummer because it has been so nice out, minus these last few days.
It’s finally getting nice out and I can’t enjoy it, and this happens...

Hello my people,
I am sending this blog out to request some new members to the Reason Why Street team. Don’t get nervous now, this is no brain surgery or hard math equations, just a little old school promotion!

The day began with an early practice going over song after song to make sure everything was super tight. If we were about to play at The Monmouth County Arts Council in front of 4 celebrities then we were going to make sure we were flawless. Now keep in...
