Quincy Mumford

Mumford also hails from Jersey and at 17 is a few years older than the Clique Girlz. And it shows. The singer-songwriter makes guitar rock that’s so thoughtful and mature, you’d never know he wasn’t old enough to get into most of the clubs he plays.

Tracks from his debut CD, “Grateful,” have been all over college and adult alternative rock stations and the album almost made the top 10 in a listeners poll done by Jersey radio station WBJB-FM. His best songs — such as the funkified “My Town” and the mellow “Diane” — would be impressive even if they were written by someone way older. More impressively, Mumford is able to channel iconoclastic influences like Ben Harper and the Grateful Dead yet avoid overt mimicry. Before he finishes his junior year this spring, he should have a second CD.
