Briefly: Umphrey’s Mantis Tour Dates

The Chicago-based sextet just finished their last tour of 2008 in Washington D.C. this weekend, and we’ll have more on that later. After a full year of touring the band hasn’t wasted any time in announcing their first major tour of 2009. READ ON after the jump for a full list of Mantis Tour dates…

UM SOUTHERN TER 2009!!
What’s the source of these dates? Nothing on UM’s website.
I hope it’s true- 4 nights at the Barrymore! HELLS YEAH!
Acoustic New Haven show looks mighty appetizing.
ahh barrymore
oof
House of Blues Boston isn’t even open yet. Better grab some hammers and get working harder.
based on some other tourdates and this blog post I found, I guess the Boston HOB will open late feb 2009. But last I was down there, it was nowhere near done.

So no Chicago dates…wonder if that means we’ll get some Mantis bust outs during the NYE run.
