Making their start in central MA rock clubs, MumbleFish is four guys who formed an alliance to make music, friends and have lots of fun whenever and wherever they play. MumbleFish delivers a powerful mixture of Rock, Dance and Party music  that captures today’s best sounds combined with 80’s and 90’s greatest party tunes. Featuring amazing harmonies and seasoned musicianship, the MumbleFish repertoire is chock full of ultra-catchy gems, from bands like The Black Crows, Blink 182, Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, Weezer, Three Doors Down, Tom Petty, ZZ Top, Foo Fighters, Matchbox 20, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Goo Goo Dolls, Daughtry, and more.

Mumblefish broke onto the music scene in 2008, playing some local benefits and clubs in the Nashua, Lowell, Billerica, Fitchburg, Leominster areas and is now booking central MA and the Boston area. The band is equipped to play the largest of night club venues as well as small coffee houses.  MumbleFish loves to have fun on stage and is dedicated to their audience and fan club members.  “ We started this thing for s#!$t’s and giggles” says Tom Powers “but now we’re in it for the long haul and lovin’ every minute of it”.
