Remember that one time Mumford & Sons, Jerry Douglas, Dawes, and Old Crow Medicine Show plus crowd sang Wagon Wheel on March 8, 2012 at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee? Yea, it’s still pretty awesome.

Mumford & Sons perform “Lovers’ Eyes” at The Ryman in Nashville on March 8th, 2012.  At the very start of this video is the end of the “Ross is a big knob” banter I mentioned in my review of this concert.  Slightly profane, but hilarious nonetheless.

Can anyone make out what Marcus says to the guy in the crowd.

“Listen, sweet cheeks.”

Mumford and Sons doing what they do best during Dustbowl Dance- Going fucking insane. They’re so damn cool.

Idk why it’s so stretched out, the video isn’t bad at all though.  Looks pretty normal…weirddd.

Sharing this because it’s the only video I’ve found of the band performing “Dust Bowl Dance” on March 8th at The Ryman, and you can see Marcus’ drumstick fly into the front row where it hit some guy in the face, bounced off of him, and hit the girl next to him.  Thank you for uploading!

Did you miss the chance to see Mumford & Sons at The Ryman in Nashville?

Well, this 18-minute video from March 8th might help give you a taste of what it was like to be there.  It includes performances by Dawes, snippets of most of Mumford & Sons’ songs, and the amazing collaboration on “Wagon Wheel” by M&S, Dawes, Jerry Douglas, and Old Crow Medicine Show.

The video can’t be embedded outside of Vimeo, but that shouldn’t stop you from enjoying it!

Mumford & Sons’ Secret Nashville Show

Article by: Article By: Jennifer Farrar & Wade Yohanek | Photo Credit(s): Melissa Madison Fuller, Wade Yohanek, Kevin Hays | Posted: 03/14/2012

Mumford & Sons brought their magic for not one, not two, but three-nights of sold-out shows at the historic Ryman Auditorium last week…

After a triple dose of Mumford & Sons at the Ryman, the band was not quite ready to head out of town without giving Nashville a little more to resonate with before they hit the road.  If you were one of the lucky ones that caught wind of a rumored Mumford & Sons appearance at The Basement, you were certainly in for a treat.

The crowd poured in and The Basement filled up quickly. The venue reached capacity a little after midnight and a handful of hopefuls stood around outside, eagerly waiting for someone to leave so they could enter this secret event. 

Marcus Mumford, who stepped outside for a moment, asked the crowd why they were standing outside and he was informed the venue was at capacity. He then said not to worry and went and approached Mike Grimes (owner of The Basement). A moment later Mike announced to the crowd that per Marcus’s request, everyone was allowed inside the venue. 

Inside The Basement, members of Mumford & Sons, Dawes, Apache Relay, Colorfeels and John Rich were just some of the folks out having a good time. 

Finally around 2:00 a.m., perhaps the best jam session of 2012 broke out and The Basement attempted to set their own record for most people playing on stage; (the secret Metallica show comes to mind).

Marcus Mumford took the stage with Dawes, Apache Relay’s guitarist Mike Harris, the Mumford & Sons horn section, John McCauley (Deer Tick), Jonny Corndawg, and some of the members of Colorfeels.

The appetizer was a six-minute jam session that got everyone moving. Dawes lead singer, Taylor Goldsmith, started the main course with the distinctive opening notes of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Born On The Bayou,” and followed with Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark.” Marcus Mumford took over vocals on a stirring rendition of Townes Van Zandt’s, “If I Needed You.”

Afterwards, Mumford headed back to the drums and Goldsmith, McCauley, and Corndawg collaborated on a “pseudo-medley” of Bob Dylan’s, “I Shall Be Released,” and Buck Owen’s, “Act Naturally.”  The boys broke this hit down in a two-part jam session, just to keep the fun lingering a little longer.

Everyone left The Basement feeling full—perhaps even over-indulged—but ultimately satisfied to have witnessed such a dynamic group of performers in such a secret setting.

Winston Marshall of Mumford & Sons tells the story of going into Grimey’s in Nashville where he received the best compliment he’s ever gotten, and then he thanks the M&S fans for being “awesome” on March 8, 2012.

I am so glad someone recorded this!  Right after, Marcus said that this was the first time Winston had ever said something on stage that wasn’t sarcastic or a joke.  So, naturally, Winston played into that as though perhaps he was kidding, even though he certainly wasn’t!
