Mumford & Sons’ Electrifying “House Of The Rising Sun” Cover Redefines Folk Rock With Trombone Shorty’s Epic Solo
In a breathtaking performance that left fans speechless, Mumford & Sons delivered one of the most unforgettable live covers of recent years — a powerful, soul-stirring rendition of “House of the Rising Sun.”
Taking the stage at the New Orleans Jazz Fest 2023, the folk rock giants paid homage to one of the most iconic songs ever written, and the result was pure musical magic.
Before the first note even began, frontman Marcus Mumford introduced two incredible guests.
Trombone Shorty (Troy Andrews), the New Orleans-born jazz legend, and Jon Batiste, the Grammy-winning bandleader from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
From that moment, the crowd knew they were in for something extraordinary.
Marcus began the song with a hauntingly gentle acoustic intro, his voice rich with raw emotion.
The audience fell silent as Trombone Shorty stepped in, blending New Orleans jazz and blues in a way that elevated the folk classic to new heights.
Every solo, every note, carried an authenticity and fire that reminded listeners why live music remains one of the most powerful art forms on Earth.
