The Shady Horns To Join Umphrey’s McGee In Boston

Umphrey’s McGee has announced The Shady Horns will join them for an upcoming show in Boston. UM will add the Lettuce/Soulive horn section featuring Eric “Benny” Bloom on trumpet and Ryan Zoidis on saxophone to their performance on August 12 at Blue Hills Bank Pavilion.

Umphrey’s has teamed with the horn section a number of times over the past year including an instant classic show in New Orleans earlier this year. Brownout Presents Brown Sabbath will open the festivities in Boston. Tickets are available via LiveNation.

Here’s footage captured and posted to YouTube by Bill Watts of Zoidis, Bloom and their Lettuce cohort Adam “Shmeeans” Smirnoff on guitar performing “Sledgehammer” with UM at Penn’s Landing in Philadelphia on July 18, 2015:
