Bio
3 years, 300+ shows, and two award-winning albums to his credit, New Jersey-based singer/songwriter Quincy Mumford arrives at the release of his third album, “Speak” with a distinctive, polished musical style all his own. “What I’ve been focusing on lately, both in the studio and on stage,” Quincy explains, “is highlighting the overall groove that has been building in my music since day one. Whether I’m combining pop, funk, reggae, or surf influences, I want the whole thing to make sense as one recognizable style. Some of my favorite bands⎯ALO, G.Love, Sublime⎯do that really well. I’ve been working really hard at it⎯and I think it’s all coming together on this new record. It’s exciting, upbeat music, and I can’t wait for people to hear it.” “Speak” opens with “Rally,” a hard-hitting sing-along that features a clean, clear musical arrangement and a motivational message to live life boldly and rally around those you believe in. Another notable track, “Home,” is Quincy’s most potent tune to date -- a patriotic plea to bring our troops back home (“I pledge my allegiance/I still hope for freedom/I believe in a peaceful country.”). In addition to his evolution in the studio, Quincy and his live band, The Reason Why, are excited to maintain their tireless performance schedule, which has found them sharing the stage with Ryan Montbleau, Debbie Harry, moe., Donovan Frankenreiter, and Zach Deputy, among many others. The band is looking to continue building this live momentum, whether they’re returning to The Gathering of the Vibes or Musikfest, supporting a band on a national tour, letting loose at hometown gigs, or volunteering their time for The Surfrider Foundation, and/or other environmental causes that Quincy and the band hold close to their collective hearts. Optimistic, charismatic, and undeniably genuine, Quincy’s music possesses the same “feel good” attitude that the young man himself does. When all is said and done, a focused, inspired Quincy Mumford is an artist to watch in 2011.

“This kid nails it his first time out. Completely pretense-free, his debut delivers a focused collection of low-key acoustic pop with a fragile saltwater twang”
- Stephen Bove, Asbury Park Press, Oct. 2008
That’s the kind of buzz singer/songwriter Quincy Mumford is generating up and down the Jersey Shore — and beyond — with his novel take on today’s genre of feel-good music. A beach kid through and through who can be found skateboarding or snowboarding when he isn’t playing several times a week at local venues to an ever-expanding crop of loyal followers, Quincy has been making music and penning his own tunes since he was nine years old and first started experimenting with his distinctive blend of folksy grooves, soulful undertones, and reggae rhythms.
In 2008, he released his first full-length album to great acclaim, earning him three Asbury Music Awards nominations, a coveted place in WBJB 90.5 The Night’s Emerging Artists Concert Series, the 11 spot on 90.5 The Night’s “Top 90 Albums Released in 2008,” and entry at 103 on the “Top 200 Songs on Non-Commercial Triple A Radio” chart, from where it’s been steadily climbing ever since. Influenced by such high-talent, laid-back contemporary artists as Jack Johnson and John Mayer, Quincy is a self-described “down-to-earth, happy, and creative guy focused on his career” who finds inspiration for his meaningful lyrics in the real-world people and places that inhabit his small-town daily life. Take “My Town,” an homage to his native Allenhurst, NJ, from his self-titled debut, or “Helmet Man,” a track on his upcoming second CD about the ubiquitous old guy who rides around town on his bike — both are quintessentially Quincy, colorful cuts of unassuming life, marbled with intense flavor but served up richly mellow with a mature sensibility that belies the writer’s young age.
Whether he’s raising awareness of environmental issues like beach preservation, raising funds for charitable causes that inform his worldview, or raising the spirits of audiences young and old at a benefit concert to feed the homeless, Quincy’s the real deal — actually living the life he sings about, like his regular Friday-night jam sessions on the beach at surf camps for kids or his foray with the Sons of Ireland Polar Bear Plunge to promote clean ocean action. Quincy’s music is kind of like Quincy himself — subtle but strong. Before you know it, your feet are tapping and your heart is smiling, having been transported to that soothing, uplifting place Quincy Mumford aims to take listeners on every song he writes.
