A Family Who Plays Together, Stays Together
Tom Mumford
If you’ve ever heard banjo music drift through the trees at a campfire, chances are you’ve met someone like Tom Mumford — the kind of guy who gets everyone singing, laughing, and feeling closer to heaven.
Tom’s music is joyful and full of soul. A lifelong outdoorsman, husband, dad, and now grandpa, he’s spent years blending his love of nature, family, and faith into melodies that calm the heart and lift the spirit.
Whether he’s playing on a porch in Bellingham, a mountainside in Utah, or around a family fire, Tom’s music carries the same message: peace, joy, and the reminder that God is near.

Julia Mumford has built a life around listening deeply—to music, to nature, and to people. For years, she filled her home with piano music while raising four children, teaching lessons, and cheering on her husband Tom’s creative pursuits.
Now a grandmother and licensed mental health counselor, Julia brings the same patience and compassion she showed at the piano bench to her work with clients.
Whether hiking with Tom, playing music with family, or helping others find peace, she continues to live with grace, curiosity, and quiet strength.

Alex Mumford brings the same adventurous spirit to life that he brings to his music. A talented guitarist and outdoor enthusiast, he’s as comfortable chasing a mountain trail as he is chasing a melody.
Now living in Alaska with his wife and child, Alex carries on the family’s love for faith, music, and adventure—often joining his dad and brothers to create songs that celebrate both beauty and belonging.

Nigel Mumford grew up surrounded by music, so it’s no surprise he became the heartbeat of the family band. You’ll spot (and hear) him in many of Tom’s videos—keeping time on the cajón, strumming the guitar, or adding depth on piano, bass, or even spoons.
A natural musician with a big heart, Nigel brings energy, rhythm, and joy to every song he plays. Whether backing his dad’s banjo or experimenting with new sounds, he’s the kind of artist who makes music feel alive—and makes everyone around him smile.
