Umphreys McGee To Perform Full Album Tonight

Last night, Umphrey’s McGee kicked off a two-night stand at Track 29 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Before the run started, keyboardist Joel Cummins advised UM would perform one of their albums in Chattanooga and after a bit of a fake out last night, it now appears tonight will be the night an LP gets played by the band.

Wednesday night’s show in Chattanooga began with “Andy’s Last Beer” and “Uncle Wally,” which is the way the group’s 2002 studio album Local Band Does OK starts. However, it was a fake out as UM diverted from the Local Band Does OK track list by performing “White Man’s Moccasins” as the third song of the evening. The official Umphrey’s Twitter account mentioned this about the non-performance of the album’s third song, “Hurt Bird Bath”:

Ah, we couldn’t remember HBB, we’ll try again tomorrow.

Cummins added:

I thought we were playing Local Band last night but the set list changed. So tonight @umphreysmcgee will have to play a different album.

Tonight, we should find out which album UM will perform with improv. It appears all albums are on the table:

In case you were wondering which album @umphreysmcgee will play live this week, all original songs are on the table, nothing ruled out.
