Dear Lord: An Umphrey’s McGee Photo Gallery

Jake in the shadows

Jake

Guitarist Brendan Bayliss wailing on “The Fuzz”

Not to be outdone, Jake Cinninger lets it rip

Lights and lasers are your friend

Andy Farag and Ryan Stasik hold it down

“We all shine on…..”

Keys player Joel Cummins takes it all in

Melting faces ain’t easy

The good kind of “art photo”

R2D2 and a Hungry Hippo look on as Cinninger shreds

Drummer Kris Myers is a whirl in motion

You gotta love a band that has two guitarists fluent in tapping

Ryan Stasik feelin’ it

At points the Aragon looked like a big light saber fight

  2. On 30th, I was excited when they played the song of ‘The Fuzz’ and ‘In the Kitchen’.
    When you started play ‘The Fuzz’ I were moved to tears.
    DBK-CG-DBK was very nice , too.
    UM changed my life. I am great glad I spent with UM and Umpheaks in Chicago!!!

  3. Awesome set lists.
    Got off the JamCruise with all the same tingles.
    My girlfriend was dancing on the pool deck when they did Abacab, looked at me and said, “I get it, I get why you listen to these guys!”
    Best original songs.
    Best band to cover others songs.
    See you in Mad-Town in March.
