\n\tMumford & Sons have a short break in their touring schedule<\/a>, so they\u2019re holding auditions for the role of \u201cMarcus\u201d in their new video for \u201cHere,\u201d a track that featured Chris Stapleton on this year\u2019s Prizefighter<\/a><\/em>. A plucky, boot-scuffling, upbeat ditty with lyrics about finding oneself, \u201cHere\u201d is the sort of song made<\/em> for Mumford (and technically made by<\/em> Mumford since he cowrote it with his bandmates, Ben Lovett and Ted Dwane, with co-producer Aaron Dessner). So Mumford ought to be a shoo-in, right?<\/p>\n \n\tWell, it turns out Mumford has some stiff competition, and, worst of all, he\u2019s first up. His judges, like it or not, are the \u201cSons\u201d of Mumford & Sons, Dwane and Lovett, but it\u2019s clear from their note-taking that Mumford\u2019s raisin-like looks of concern and Olivier-like strutting and fretting about the stage will have to go a long way. \u201cSure, the kid\u2019s got spirit,\u201d think the judges, \u201cbut let\u2019s see who\u2019s waiting in the wings.\u201d Oh, no, Marcus, it\u2019s legit actors Oscar Isaac<\/a>, Shailene Woodley<\/a>, and Paul Dano<\/a>!<\/p>\n \n
