About

Why are they called Mum'z the Word!???

...because the Mum'z are mums!

Debbie Rider & Torrey Kingry formed the musical acoustic duo "Mum'z the Word!" in 1996 after they had their first children.  They had worked together on casino cruise ships out of Mayport, Florida, honing their singing skills for harmonies and trading lead vocals seamlessly, while covering popular songs with their special style and creating original songs as well. Torrey plays acoustic guitar, bass, flute, and recorder; Debbie, percussion , piano, and mandolin, but the star of the duo is the vocal sound they blend like honey as they weave lead and harmony vocals in haunting symmetry.

Mudville Music Room, 3105 Beach Blvd, Jacksonville, FL 32216

After several years of "hiatus", this duo, though they have been performing in various other bands and situations, (Torrey in The Pink Paisleys and Debbie in Get Closer! A Tribute to Linda Ronstadt), the two still kick it with their vocals and harmony vocals, like sisters, and decided to have a little Mum'z reunion concert, with the help of none other than the infamous Ray Lewis, host and sound!
