Umphrey's McGee is proud to present sUMmer school, a five day summer music camp nestled in the heart of the gorgeous Catskill Mountains at the Full Moon Resort in Big Indian, New York. sUMmer school is in session August 6 thru 10, 2012, and will offer 150 musicians and music lovers an exploration into the music and inner workings of Umphrey's McGee.Maybe you want to learn how to play with two guitarists in a band? Or perhaps you want to dig in and learn the nuances of our song writing or improvising process? Is the foodie in you wanting to smoke a pork shoulder with Andy? You want to play music as well as throw some washers with the guys? Or maybe you want to be a part of a group improvisation? The beauty of sUMmer school is that you're going to help write the syllabus. We will send every person who registers a survey where you'll get to tell us a bit about yourself, your musical skill level (or technical skill level for non-musicians), and what you'd like to get out of your sUMmer School experience. This is your chance to help us create the experience you want.Registration begins Monday, November 21, at Noon ET.For full information, visit the official sUMmer school site:http://www.umphreys.com/summerschool"Umphrey's McGee has always been about trying to find new ways to connect with our fans. We've created innovative interactive events like the StewArt Series and UMBowl, and sUMmer school will be next in line for us as a game-changing, uniquely Umphrey's experience. sUMmer school will display and deconstruct the essential elements of how to create music as a songwriter, an improviser and most importantly, how to succeed in the context of a full band setting both musically and as a business. With the extreme intimacy of the event taking place at the Full Moon Resort deep in the Catskills, we will create and share a week of amazing music with the attendees."-Joel Cummins

Chicago progressive jam band Umphrey's McGee has been around more than 15 years and recently released its 12th album, "Death by Stereo," and first for Dave Matthews' ATO record label. In all that time, the sextet has developed a visually arresting stage production -- but they've never made a video.Until now. Today the band premieres its first video -- for "Booth Love," one of the first singles released ahead of "Death by Stereo." The video, directed by Travis Rime Brooks, showcases a glorious summer day in Chicago, following three roller-skating sirens through the city, complete with champagne at Wrigley Field.

In the interest of continuing to deliver our fans the most unique, entertaining and engaging experiences around, the preparation for sUMmer school rolls on. sUMmer school is an intimate five day music camp nestled in the Catskill Mountains that will dive head first into all things Umphrey’s McGee. And we want you to join us!

Experience five days of interactive musical workshops designed for musicians of all skill levels, from aspiring beginner to zen master. We’ll explore how UM writes songs, improvises as a group, and rehearses both individually and collectively. There will be a variety of individual breakout sessions from the entire band & UM organization featuring insight into our business, touring, lighting, recording and more. And Thursday night we’ll rock an awards ceremony, complete with loads of gear giveaways from many UM endorsers. Did we mention there will be an Umphrey's McGee show show every night, followed by an open jam with camp attendees?

In addition, we’ll be offering a slew of non-musical activities ranging from hiking to bags, kickball to BBQing, films to fire pits. It’s the best chance you’re going to have to ask Stasik about his moustache waxing techniques while tipping back a cold one around a bonfire.  

Our tentative sUMmer school schedule is now available for your perusal. Give it a once over and hit us with any thoughts, suggestions, or questions at [email protected]. The camp is filling but we have various lodging and camping accommodations still available. Take a chance and come join us for a week in the woods, we promise you won’t regret it.

But wait! The clock is winding down on the Movember sale on UMLive.net, with deep discounts on all November shows from 2005-present. Not sure where to start? Look to The Floor as Kevin Browning picks notable moments in UM November history.

Umphrey's McGee New Year's Eve run in Atlanta has finally arrived. The 29th-31st are officially sold out (with the 28th close behind), but there's still hope- a handful of tickets are being re-released right now (12:00 PM ET). Go get em, and ring in the new year properly with some face melting rock.UM is pumped to bring you an arsenal of talented supporting acts on the bill down in Atlanta, with The Bright Light Social Hour, Zoogma and Moon Taxi. On the 29th, be sure to catch Zoogma's late-night set in the Cotton Club inside the Tabernacle. Tickets are just $5 with an Umphrey's stub, and $10 without, and are available here.Atlanta has always welcomed UM with open arms and it's time to give back. UM is hosting a canned food drive the 28th-30th to benefit the Atlanta Community Food Bank. Look for donation bins and representatives from the UM camp every day when doors open (7:00 PM on the 28 & 29th, and 6:00 PM on the 30th) until UM takes the stage. They'll hand out 1 raffle ticket for every 5 items donated, pull the winning ticket during UM's first set, and post the winning number on the big board behind the table. Check back at set break, and present your winning ticket at the merch booth for an Emek 2012 NYE print autographed by the band. It's just that easy! Let's join together and help make the burden of those in need a little lighter this season. Learn more about the most needed items at the food bank.Can't join UM in Atlanta? Get the next best thing with a live stream. Pants optional. UM has teamed up with StageIt to stream all four nights of the run via a single HD camera from "front of house" with soundboard audio. It costs only $6 for the 28th, 29th and 30th, and $8 for the three-set 31st. The top three "tippers" each night will receive download codes to download the MP3s of the show, and the top tipper each night will get a customized voice memo from the band member of their choosing.Finally, the clock is winding down on your chance to grab the Game Tapes bundle, featuring over a dozen live concert videos shot with the band's front of house camera and paired with high quality soundboard recordings.

Preparation is underway for sUMmer school 2013, and we think you're going to like these new changes. First and foremost we have reduced the camping option to an absurdly low $599, which gets you four days and four nights of all things Umphrey's, three incredible gourmet meals a day and serene camping in the Catskills. Think of it as a private festival with a twist- while there will still be loads of opportunity of music instruction for those who want it, there will be an added emphasis on private concerts and spending quality time with team UM during a myriad of leisure activities. Hit us with any questions at [email protected] and sign up for a week you'll never forget.Speaking of steals, the clock is winding down on the Spring Clearance Sale in our online store. With tees and more marked down over 50%, this is your last chance on last chance merch! Additionally, each week in March we are giving away a free download of one side off the Hall of Fame 2011 vinyl with every order over $20. Hop to it.We wrap up on the west coast this weekend. These are markets we love and don't get to play nearly enough, so come on out and rage with us. If you're heading to LA, swing by merch early for a LE poster by Baker Prints. Love the print, but can't attend the show? Pick it up along with all the prints for 2013 Winter/Spring tour in our Poster Subscription Series, where just a handful of spots remain.We are also offering a one-of-a-kind audiophile experience in LA if having your mind blown is your thing. Say what?\mm/Umphrey's McGeeTickets/VIP TicketsMarch3.21 House of Blues, Las Vegas, NV (w/ The Bright Light Social Hour)3.22 House of Blues, Los Angeles, CA (w/ The Bright Light Social Hour) umVIP3.23 House of Blues, Los Angeles, CA (w/ The Bright Light Social Hour) umVIP3.24 McDowell Mountain Music Festival, Phoenix, AZApril4.10 Music Farm, Charleston, SC4.11 Freebird Live, Jacksonville, FL (w/ Break Science)4.12 Plaza Theater, Orlando, FL (w/ Break Science)4.13 Jannus Live, St. Petersburg, FL (w/ Break Science)4.15 Georgia Theatre, Athens, GA SOLD OUT4.17 George's Majestic, Fayetteville, AR (w/ Space Camp)4.18 George's Majestic, Fayetteville, AR (w/ Montu)4.19 House of Blues, Dallas, TX (w/ Moon Taxi)4.20 Stubb's, Austin, TX (w/ Moon Taxi)4.26 UMBOWL IV, Chicago, IL umVIP SOLD OUTMay5.9 Summer Camp Pre-Party with Brendan and Jake, Cubby Bear, Chicago, IL5.24-26 Summer Camp Music Festival, Chillicothe, IL umVIP5.31-6.2 Wakarusa Festival, Ozark, ARJune6.7 Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Morrison, CO (w/ Dr. Dog and Delta Spirit) umVIP6.8 Chautauqua Auditorium, Boulder, CO umVIP SOLD OUT6.17-6.21 sUMmer school, Big Indian, NYJuly7.11-13 Camp Bisco, Mariaville, NY

On a crisp October day in 2004, we rolled into the Bay Area for our second show ever at the legendary Great American Music Hall. If you have ever set foot inside those hallowed halls, you understand the “if these walls could talk” feeling that permeates the room. Home to countless legendary performances from Sonny Rollins to the Grateful Dead, the energy is undeniable. Our excitement about that show returns today as we roll out the previously unreleased, re-mastered matrix recording from the vault.

The show featured the debut of “Great American,” with the venue appropriately serving as the song’s namesake. Phil Lesh dropped by and joined in on “Robot World,” as well as the first rendition of “Franklin’s Tower” since 1998. Throw in “Divisions” > “Glory” > “Divisions” and some humorous banter about Blue Öyster Cult and you’ve got classic UM.

This archival release is available exclusively via UMLive.net in a variety of digital formats including lossless options. We’ve pressed a special three-disc set for those of you who like to exercise all your senses. In addition, we're also reducing pricing on CDs across ALL SHOWS on UMLive.net. Finally, you can subscribe to UMLive.net and automatically have streaming access to this show as well as over a thousand others.

Check out the full set list here and thanks for supporting music. Happy listening!

We will also feature local food, libations, and vending, along with a umVIP elevated concert experience (pre-show BBQ, anyone?) and umVIP travel packages featuring hotels smack in the middle of historic downtown Charleston, complete with convenient transportation to and from the show.

Reel to Real is an archival rock documentary about the innovative Umphrey's McGee, diving deep into the early years by examining their inner workings through unreleased band shot camcorder footage. It reflects on UM's days of suspended youth, racking up thousands of miles in a van and trailer without a worry in sight. But reality knocks as a founding member walks away mid tour, putting the entire venture in jeopardy. It's a view behind the curtain, one designed not to paint a picture of what you think it's like, but what it's actually like to make the journey.

Starring:
Brendan Bayliss, Jake Cinninger, Joel Cummins, Andy Farag, Kris Myers, Ryan Stasik & Mike Mirro.

Directed by Jefferson Waful

With our archival documentary, Reel To Real now in the wild for almost two weeks, we figured you should know that the soundtrack is soon to follow. Seems only appropriate, right?

Full details on that release are coming soon but to satiate your craving in the meantime, we are pleased to unveil “Gone For Good,” the first song on our new album. With an instrumental version first appearing in the film and the vocal version having debuted live on January 1st, “Gone For Good” continues to evolve. This new rendition is an Umphrey’s hybrid, recorded both live on stage during a sound check and finished in the studio after the fact.

Today we share “Gone For Good” exclusively on umlive.net, the definitive home for all UM audio. Download MP3, lossless, or 24bit HD versions now or stream it (plus the entire UM archive) via the nugs.net app.
