Umphrey's McGee in Nashville

Umphrey's McGee is an American progressive rock and jam band formed in South Bend, Indiana, in 1997. The group is known for intricate compositions, extended improvisation and albums including Anchor Drops, Mantis and Similar Skin, as well as songs such as “In the Kitchen,” “Bridgeless” and “1348.” The band introduced UMBowl in 2010, creating an interactive concert in which audience choices help shape the performance. It became a recurring event, while repeated multi-night runs at Red Rocks Amphitheatre established another substantial part of the group’s live history. A typical Umphrey's McGee concert features the six-piece electric lineup and often unfolds over two sets. The musicians move between tightly arranged passages and open improvisation, including cue-led sections known as “Jimmy Stewarts.” Umphrey's McGee has performed across many editions of Summer Camp Music Festival and has also appeared at Bonnaroo. The band has taken its live sets aboard multiple Jam Cruise voyages.
