On July 29th from 11am to 8pm, Soulsational Festival will be celebrating music and wellness for its 7th year at Veterans Park in Bayville, NJ. This free community event will feature "live music, local health and wellness businesses and practitioners, giveaways, a silent auction, and lots of opportunities to give back and unite the Jersey Shore community." One of the event's live music acts is QUINCY MUMFORD & THE REASON WHY. Enjoy this interview with frontman / guitarist Quincy Mumford, below:

What's your name, where are you from, where are you based now, and what do you do?

My name is Quincy Mumford. I am a singer-songwriter, guitar player, and front man of Quincy Mumford & The Reason Why. I grew up in West Allenhurst, NJ and now am based one town over in Asbury Park.

What's your background? What would you like people to know about you & your work?

I am 25 and have been writing, performing and putting out records since age 16. I like to create authentic funky positive music. My goal with each new song and project is to write music that soothes the soul and makes you feel lifted. So far, each record has a different vibe and different message, as I am always trying to evolve my sound. Check out my latest release "State of Mind" on Spotify!

How did you hear about Soulsational? What can we expect to see/hear at the festival, and what are you personally most looking forward to?

I have seen the posters around over the years for Soulsational. It always seemed like a really cool festival. I am glad they asked us to play this year! I am looking forward to getting funky and making people dance, along with seeing some of my friends in the other groups playing.

How can people connect with you online? Do you have a website? Are you on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, etc.?
