   About Mutual Kumquat
Photobucket

Seth Hendricks, Chris Good, Drue Gray and Jacob Jolliff make up Mutual Kumquat, a talented quartet of 3 singer-songwriters and a mandolin virtuoso. Mutual Kumquat has brought it's 'good times revolution music' to audiences across the United States, engaging audiences with positive, clever, and poignant lyrics, strong rhythms, rich harmonies, stick-in-your-head melodies and its unique blend of acoustic roots music influenced by bluegrass, funk, jazz, soul, folk, reggae and afrobeat.

The group's brand-new self-titled release features longtime Mutual Kumquat members co-founder/bassist Chris Good, vocalist Drue Gray, guitarist/vocalist Seth Hendricks and drummer Justin Peterson. Mandolinist Jacob Jolliff is also featured heavily on the new album and brings new layers of flair and virtuosity to the Kumquat's trademark eclectic sound. Community Records (Ypsilanti, MI) founder Jesse Morgan (keyboards), cellist Abby Alwin, drummer Evan Gutierrez (Like Water Drum and Dance, Outkast, India Arie), and MK co-founder and poet Nate Waas Shull also contributed to the project.

Inspired by visions of radical, loving, creative communities living in MUTUAL relationship and the sweet yet tart, tiny but power-packed-with-flavor wonder fruit that is a KUMQUAT, the group was born. A wild journey has followed taking the group from 3 members up to 14, back again to 3, then to 7 and now settling on its current acoustic ensemble of 4. Seth, Drue, and Chris are thrilled to welcome mandolinist Jacob Jolliff as a regular member of the group. Jacob is currently a student at Berklee College of Music in Boston and has played with such legendary musicians as Chris Thile, David Grisman, Mike Marshall, Ronnie McCourey and Tim O'Brien.
