Hello to the people. Slowly but surely we are getting closer to the 2 days (3 shows) of music and magic. I am talking about the 3 shows that Quincy Mumford and the Reason Why will be putting on in early March (2nd & 3rd). If you remember, this is for our live album that we are recording over these 3 shows. Did you hear me? WE ARE RECORDING A LIVE ALBUM!!! We are calling it, “Live at The Saint”. This is because it will be taking place at The Saint in Asbury Park, NJ.

This event is not just for us, but for the ocean, the creatures of the sea, local New Jersians, beach bums, surfers, and pretty much everyone else who loves or respects the ocean. We are raising money for CLEAN OCEAN ACTION and SURFRIDER FOUNDATION. All of the ticket sales will go to these great organizations.

That brings me to the reason I am writing this blog……

TICKETS ARE NOW ON SALE!!!! $12 ($30 for all 3 shows)
You can pick up a ticket at any of these four SURF TACO locations:

As you may or may not know, the band and I just recently got back from a long week in Vermont, where we did nothing but work on music for this live album. We were also filming our experience up there as a band. The DVD will be almost like a small documentary on The Reason Why and putting this show together but with a ton of live footage to really make it great. We are tighter then ever, and these are shows you definitely do not want to miss!

You can be apart of a few shows that will last forever on a CD and a DVD. Not only that, but be apart of a great cause to raise money for some great organizations.

Some pretty rad news.

The band and I are heading up to Bethel, Vermont for a few days after the new year. We plan to isolate ourselves for five days in a house and just work on nothing but music. I’m talking BRAND NEW SONGS, new arrangements for old songs, songs we are digging up from the grave, and new surprises put together to create two large sets for your listening pleasure.We thought it was time to create some new music to make our live show as shredtastic as possible. Did I mention that we now have two guitar players, making the Reason Why a total of six members. They both play multiple instruments including banjo, mandolin, dobro, and lap steel just to name a few.

While we are up in Vermont, we will be taking a trip up to Burlington for a show at NECTARS January 11th (Wednesday). If you are in the area or even in Vermont, come check out our set of new tunes and new arrangements. Otherwise you will just have to wait and see for yourself!

That´s it for now, check out some winter dates below!

Cheers from Sweden,

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 kind of crazy light display on our house, in fact we don’t put up any lights! But…we are pretty dam proud of our Christmas tree, this year it’s looking dope.

So this year, I actually will not be spending the holidays at home. By home, I mean in the States! This year I will be spending my Christmas and New Years in Sweden! I am so stoked! Of coarse I will miss my family, but it should be nice to have a white Christmas for once! I can’t wait, I know it is going to be one hell of a time. It will be nice to see some family and friends. Hopefully I will be back on the radio in Kalmar and do another live broadcast. Maybe even play an American Christmas song!

Looking back on this year, I start to remember a lot of good times, laughs, and adventures. I am glad to hold some of these fun, exciting, and just plain crazy memories. I am so grateful to have such loving and supporting people around me. I don’t think that I thank these people enough, and I really want to show them that I appreciate everything they do. So…as part of my New Years Resolution, I am going to recongnize and thank everyone more often for completing these acts of kindness. Now I just need to figure out the rest of my resolution! What is your New Years Resolution? Tell me on Twitter (@quincymumf)

So I need some help from you all. It has become that time of year again where 90.5 The Night (WBJB) counts down the top 100 albums of the year! I am apart of that list with my latest album Speak. YOU can help bring it to number 1!!! All you have to do is just click http://wbjb.org/home.php/category/top-90s/top-90-of-2010/top-90-of-2011-voting/ , scroll down 1/3 of the way, and just click 4 stars under Speak by Quincy Mumford and the Reason Why. Thank you so much for the support and your listening ears!

Happy Holidays to you all

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 dream to start with soft goods and move on to outerwear and eventually snowboards. Crazy I know, but you have to set your goals high!

So now I am about 2/10th’s of the way there. I started to print some t-shirts to get the process going. I came up with the name “Lifted Apparel” after naming my business LLC, Lifted Enterprises. The name “Lifted” came from a song of mine, off of my second album, South Edgemere. I wanted to show people another artistic side of me. Although I don’t design all of the shirts with my artwork, I do hand pick the artist to draw the images, and I come up with all of the concepts behind the images and the colors. I will say that some of the t-shirts and hoodies coming out in the future will feature some of my art. You may have seen some of my artwork before, just check out any of my album covers!

I am very much into graffiti and psychedelic styles. One of my favorite
artist’s is a good friend of mine, Jay Alders (jayalders.com). Check him out, he is a huge inspiration and someone I look up to as an overall human being! You’re the man, Jay! The company is very small right now, but it is just the beginning. I asked my brother, Kyle Mumford to join me as a partner in the company. He has a very creative mind and the ability to create some pretty dope designs. He even does his own silk screen printing! We plan to release a lot more products this up coming year. I’m talking, more sunglasses, creative and colorful tee’s, hoodies, beanies, and more! If you are into companies such as, Volcom, Billabong, Burton, and Ruca, you will definitely dig Lifted. For now, check out some of my latest Lifted products below, and stay tuned for more!
