Mumford & Sons will hit the road this spring for a tour of North America that will wind through the U.S. and Canada intermittently through September. The English folk-rockers kick off their latest outing May 21st at Calgary's Scotiabank Saddledome and wrap up on June 20th at  the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in Colorado. They'll also be stopping by Bonnaroo on June 15th.

“More Than a Feeling”

Boston | 1976

Boston mastermind Tom Scholz was as surprised by anyone when he sent his unsolicited demo to record labels and got back a positive response. Scholz said, “I couldn’t believe it. Nobody knew who we were, so I wouldn’t even say we were struggling. It was groveling.” Part of the credit for the interest must go to the anthemic rock number "More Than a Feeling." Inspired by the Left Banke's 1966 hit "Walk Away Renee," Scholz worked on the song for five years in his basement studio before it was released on this album.
