Mumford Cold-Called Stapleton for 'Here' | Country Music News

Marcus Mumford spills the tea on how he cold-called Chris Stapleton for the haunting opener “Here” from Prizefighter—a move that had him gushing with excitement. Stapleton’s gracious yes turned the track into a perfect fusion of Mumford’s folk soul and Stapleton’s signature country grit. It’s just the latest in a string of genre-blurring collabs, as Mumford & Sons continue their country crossover with tours featuring Darius Rucker, Lainey Wilson, and even Shania Twain. Their new version with Sierra Ferrell further proves the seamless blend of folk and country—something they’re now helping to mainstream after artists like Noah Kahan paved the way.
