Rise to Stardom

Before Mumford and sons was formed, Winston Marshall used to run jam nights at Bosun’s Locker, a club situated in King’s Road in Fulham. Marshall met Mumford and the other members of the band at the club. Prior to Mumford and Sons, he was part of a band named ‘Captain Kick’ and the ‘Cowboy Ramblers’, a bluegrass sleaze rap band. When he was a part of the band he was known as Country Winston and played banjo and guitar. His banjo music rose to fame with Mumford and Sons. Winston is also credited for the band’s bluegrass music hits and their other unique choices, according to Mumford.

In 2013, Winston assembled a band called Salvador Dali Parton. The ensemble which included Gill Landry of Old Crow Medicine Show, Mike Harris of Apache Relay, Jake Orrall of JEFF the Brotherhood, and Justin Hayward-Young of the Vaccines disbanded six hours after formation. The group gave six performances at five Music City clubs and one suburban house party. In 2016, his interest in techno and electronic dance music spurred him to join the Austrian DJ duo HVOB.
