Umphrey's McGee is six local Chicago upstarts who have garnered much attention coast to coast with their guitar-heavy jams and melodic vocal work. Busting genres left and right, Umphrey's originals span everything from classical to bluegrass, gangsta-rap to hair-metal, jazz improv to downright dirty funk. Throw in some fun, unexpected covers and a great light show and you've got yourself a must-see performance.
