New Release: “Soundstage Presents: Umphrey’s McGee – Live”
I'm psyched to see another DVD release by Umphrey's McGee, because I have the other live DVD's they released and I rarely think of them as disappointing in the slightest. Their first live DVD, Live at Lake Coast, captures the band at their peak with original drummer Mike Mirro... more

Umphrey’s McGee Makes-A-Wish

Umphrey’s McGee Announces Sick Summer Tour Triple Bill! Not Really!

Heady Links | New Year’s Eve Preview Edition
The live music universe is a world filled with ebbs and flows of energy; when things get busy, they really get busy and then there will be a down period. Suffice to say that in Chicago, right when that 90 day limit Lollapalooza puts on its performers finishes, October is... more

Weekly Roundup
I tried my best to keep up with the reports from All Points West this past weekend, but I also tried to get away from the computer to check the Everyone Orchestra here in SF. Unfortunately my press contact's list must have been a bit borked because I was... more

Have you made your plan for Halloween yet? I just found out that I'll be hitting the Umphrey's McGee two-night run here in San Francisco, which they're dubbing a "Monster Mash-Up" kinda affair. I'll be leaving my body and soul at the door and plan on dressing up... more
Weekly Roundup | Lollapalooza Hangover

Heady Links
This year's Bonnaroo has already begun. So if you're not already there, you're probably like me and only able to check out this year's festival from afar. Luckily for folks like us, there are even more opportunities in 2008 to enjoy the festival without actually being there. Here's a quick... more

Tea Leaf Green Returning to NYC
Hello, folks, you might remember this reporter from such recent posts as "Blown Away By Tea Leaf Green" and "I've Got a Little Obsession, Folks." The latter title is especially fitting, as I've been trying to listen to at least one live TLG show per day. A little birdie told me... more

Umphrey’s McGee at Skyline Stage Review Numero Dos
For the second night of the recent Umphrey’s McGee two-night stand in Chicago, the crowd gathered out front was greater than the night before.
