UMPHREY'S MCGEE
Founded in 1997 in the shadows of the Golden Dome of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, Umphrey's McGee soon made Chicago home base, and set their sights on becoming one of the premier live acts in today's touring circuit. Over the course of the last ten years, the band has performed at festivals such as Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, and continues to sell out shows in the nation's premier venues coast to coast. They have toured Europe multiple times and performed at Japan's Fuji Rock Festival in 2006. As their sound evolves with every passing show, the live concerts sold on their expansive music archive site UMLive.net continue to be in high demand by their hungry fan base.
Last June, the band released their new DVD, UMPHREY’S McGEE - LIVE. Recorded during their 2007 performance for PBS’s Soundstage, UMPHREY’S McGEE - LIVE offers an incredible 13-song set on DVD, including six favorites not shown during the PBS broadcast, which premiered last February. A visual showcase of the band’s spontaneity and innovative prowess, UMPHREY’S McGEE – LIVE, is a must-own for all music enthusiasts and progressive rock fans.
