Founded in 1997 in the shadows of the Golden Dome of Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, Umphrey’Äôs McGee soon made Chicago home base, and set their sights on becoming one of the premier live acts in today’Äôs touring circuit. Over the course of the last ten years, the band has performed at festivals such as Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, and continues to sell out shows in the nation’Äôs premier venues coast to coast. They have toured Europe multiple times and performed at Japan’Äôs Fuji Rock Festival in 2006. As their sound evolves with every passing show, the live concerts sold on their expansive music archive site UMLive.net continue to be in high demand by their hungry fan base. The second decade of Umphrey’Äôs McGee is fueled with Mantis (most recent studio release) in the tank, and the band shows no signs of letting up.
