Mumbo Gumbo

Serving Up a Spicy Stew of Jubilant Music!

Mumbo Gumbo

The roots music of Mumbo Gumbo can best be described as a spicy blend of Gulf Coast influences, from rock to soul, afropop to lush balladry, zydeco to country. This festive melting pot of musical styles fuses into an upbeat, danceable, celebratory melange best known as the "Mumbo Gumbo sound".



For over 30 years, Mumbo Gumbo has been one of Northern California's most celebrated bands, releasing nine albums of original music and performing thousands of shows for devoted fans of all ages. From festivals to intimate settings, from park concerts to parties, this group of seven plus musicians creates community wherever they go.

Fronted by two first-rate singer/songwriters, Chris Webster and Tracy Walton, the band is anchored and driven by drums, bass, sax, guitar, and keyboards.
