If you missed the band performing on NPR’s Word Cafe the other day head this way to listen again.
They played these tracks from Babel:
Whispers In The Dark
Lover’s Eyes
Ghosts That We Knew
If I Needed You
And they spoke to show host David Dye about these things: the Gentlemen of the Road Stopover shows, the film about the Railroad Revival Tour Big Easy Express, playing live and more.
Yet another highlight of the touring process is getting to pick which bands to bring on tour. And this time we’ve got two gems for you, in the form of Dawes and Post War Years.
Here are the details of who’ll be supporting when:
The Tour Of Two Halves, Part 1 (21st-27th November): Dawes
The Tour Of Two Halves, Part 2 (4th-16th December): Dawes and Post War Years
Second night at O2 Arena, London on 18th December: TBC
The first night has now sold out and so we are very pleased to announce that we have been able to add a second…
Mumford & Sons will play the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles on 12th November. Support for this show will come from Apache Relay and tickets go on general at 10am this Friday via Ticketmaster.com.
Additionally, we can now also announce that support for the first date, on 10th November, will come from Dawes and Aaron Embry.
The location is Dixon, Illinois and the date is August 2012. Mumford & Sons are in town for a Stopover show…
The buzz of the crowds and the stands and the bands they’ve asked to play fizzes around them. The weather is hot and they seek a little refuge indoors, finding an empty high school auditorium.. Daytrotter are in the premises, recording equipment in tow.
It being the only multi-day Stopover date Marcus, Ben, Ted and Winston find themselves in a rare position of circumstance; a quiet space, all their instruments plus a whole load of talented musician folk on hand and with a little time to spare. So Daytrotter hit record and thus, here we have today… The Stopover Sessions.
They consist of a mixture of originals, covers (Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan) and interpretations of traditional folk songs and include recordings by not only by Mumford & Sons but also contributions from HAIM, Abigail Washburn, Apache Relay, Dawes, Gogol Bordello, The Very Best and Nathaniel Rateliff., laid down either in the auditorium or the lounge of the band’s tour bus.
Daytrotter members can now download all of these sessions over here. If you’re not a member it’s still possible to stream the tracks by signing up for a free trial.
The Stopover Sessions come in a number of parts; Mumford & Sons and Friends, Stopover Sessions Part 2 and Stopover Sessions Part 3, Gogol Bordello’s Stopover Session and The Very Best’s Stopover Session.
