Jam On with Umphrey's McGee

Jam band fans, this post is officially dedicated to you and you alone. Hold on to your butts! Umphrey's McGee is coming to Penn's Peak on April 3! You better get ready to dance your hippie heart out.
Umphrey's McGee has been rising steadily over the past few years and now have a pretty substantial fan base comprised of not only hippies, of course, but also metalheads, rockers, and jammers. Surprising, huh? It's all thanks to the eclectic blend that makes up their music. It's filled with reggae beats, long hippie jams, and the occasional EXTREME double bass that screams metal.
The group played the Sherman Theater about a year ago and sold out the venue (pictured above). Fans traveled from all across the country to see Umphrey's and weren't let down in the slightest bit. Their show was a mixture of original jams, recorded songs, and a few covers. The song that really blew me away was their cover of the Allman Brothers Band "Jessica," which, I have to say, they played better than the Allman Brothers do now if you see them live. (Perhaps because the Allmans are old and tired by now, but hey...I still give props. They're still amazing.)
To get back on track, you should go see Umphrey's if you want to check out one incredible show. You won't only be blown away by the music these guys create, but you'll also get carried away in the psychedelic light show that accompanies it. (Note: I am in no way, shape, or form suggesting that you take drugs before you go to this show.)
Eh hem...tickets are $21 in advance and $26 the day of the show. Penn's Peak is a beautiful venue and a wonderful place to spend an evening. Check out all of the info on the event page.
