Mumford & Sons crosses genres to bring folk, bluegrass to wider audience

In the grand scheme of things, Mumford & Sons has only been around for a generally short period of time. However, in that time, the gathering, drove by artist/lyricist Marcus Mumford, has blasted onto the music scene and served to bring a once interesting and provincial American sound to a much more widespread audience. Mumford & Sons surpassed genres to bring folk, bluegrass to broader audience. Fans in the Midwest were excited this past weekend when the band was able to hold two concerts in the Midwest, one in Chicago and one in Waverly.

Despite the rain in the morning many customers still visited many of the local vendors that were still open for business . The rain had very little effect.The only part that was difficult was for the clothes vendors since they had to quickly cover things once the rain started again in the afternoon.
