The Mumbles apres ski from 4 - 6pm
Date: Jan 27, 2012
Details: The Mumbles are a New Orleans based Avant Soul Duo -- a tiny band with a mighty sound. Using two keyboards and a drum kit, they combine soul music with avant and old time jazz to create "pop songs in the key of partying down" (Time Out New York).
Keysman Keith Burnstein and drummer Ethan Shorter met in the rhythm section of a 14 piece hip hop orchestra, soon striking out on their own in late 2006 to write tunes that would become Mumbles mainstays. As a duo, the boys distilled songs to their essence, delighting in a dynamic that "...marries the bedroom intimacy of a singer-songwriter, with the expansive musical prowess of a psych jazz outfit" (Seven Days Vermont).
More About The Mumbles
After the completion of their first record, Once Eponymous, in 2008, The Mumbles toured the country on the heels of a national AAA radio campaign, with fine stations nation wide playing the disc in heavy rotation. Critics have called the break-out single, 'Bite-Size (Brawn w/ Brio)', "Lounge music for the super-hip" (Roanoke Times) with a vibe that is "...equal parts Tom Waits gruffness and Woody Allen pathos" (The L Magazine).
During breaks in their travels, the band recorded the "richly textured and arty" (Danbury News Times) "Muddy Mantras" with vocalist Meredith Claire in 2009 and in March 2011, holed up in the recording studio with producer Brian J to record their first full-length album, Annunciation St. They are proud to announce that the album, which "packs enough power to convince sane individuals that new music is still worth hearing" (Mountain Times) is out now and available on iTunes and at CDbaby.com http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/TheMumbles.
