Mumford & Sons announce US tour, will play SPAC in June of 2016…

I might get my chance to see Mumford & Sons live. They just announced their US tour in support of their new album, “Wilder Mind”. As you can see their final show of this tour, they will be playing SPAC in Saratoga Springs on June 15.

I don’t go to national concerts much anymore as I stopped going to them pretty much but I think this will be a show worth going to. I’m a huge fan of Mumford and Sons myself.

I’m definitely thinking about this one.

Mumford & Sons goes electric for new album???

Mumford & Sons are well-known as an indie folk group that plays acoustic instruments. They mostly wrote original folk songs but are they changing their direction in sound for new album? In the studio and on stage, you always saw them with acoustic instruments. I never saw them with electric instruments in their hands, correct me if I’m wrong. They’ve always used acoustic instruments like acoustic guitars, mandolins and upright bass.

Check them out in this video and what do you see? The singer has an electric guitar in his hands and the bass player is using an electric bass instead of an upright.

So are they going for a more rock n’ roll direction for their next album? That’s what it’s looking like to me. Looking forward to it as I am a fan of this band myself.

Billy Joel set to headline Bonnaroo festival along with Mumford & Sons and Deadmau5…

This year’s Bonnaroo lineup have been revealed and the headliners this year are pretty surprising. Billy Joel and Mumford & Sons are set to headline. I’m not much of a fan of Deadmau5 ’cause I never really listened to them before. I am a fan of Billy Joel and Mumford & Sons, though.

Billy Joel To Headline Bonnaroo 2015

It’s very strange to me on how Billy keeps performing live yet he refuses to go back into the studio and make a new record for all of us. Billy claims he’s done making music in the studio but I don’t buy it, though. The man just admitted last year that he lost his passion for recording new music. He no longer wants to go through all that. He also claims he has made enough music for us.

In my opinion, I think Billy is just being a lazy bum. I know he’s capable of making a new record. I also think he’s quietly writing new songs behind our backs ’cause he’s a musician and that’s what musicians do, make music.

Making new music is something you should never give up doing. Billy maybe getting older and he’s aging yes but that still doesn’t mean he have to stop making new music. Elton never stopped going into the studio, he’s still going. So is Bruce Springsteen and Neil Young.

I understand Billy has been a part of the music business for years and he’s getting tired of it but once again making new music is something you should NEVER give up.

I think Billy should give us one more record. I’m sure fans would welcome another Billy Joel record anytime!!! He should do it for the fans.
