Heading out of town to visit my old tattoo artist today, and while we catch up we're gonna go catch these guys!  I've never heard of them before myself, but giving a couple quick listens online has shown me that they're more than a little cool.  I'm pretty pumped to check them out honestly.

A to Z 2k18: U is for Umphrey's McGee

Band:  Umphrey's McGee
Song:  Made To Measure
Album:  Mantis (2009)
Genre:  Jam, Progressive Rock
Language:  Brief

Out of all the letters I thought I'd have issues with, I really didn't think that U would be one of them.  It turns out that all the U bands that came to mind for me were too popular for me to post.

My dad mentioned Umphrey's though, and that brought back a lot of fun memories from my first MP3 player.  It held about 200 songs and about 20 of them were these guys.  I wasn't as in to their stuff then seeing as I'm not a fan of longer songs, but I can much more appreciate what they bring to the music scene now.  There's a lot of stuff going on in their music, and I'm even able to add some of their stuff to my school playlist

Umphreys McGee - Cemetery Walk

Umphrey's McGee is the essence of a jam-y prog band.  They have a lot of really cool songs but this one happens to be one that has stood out to me over the years.

What I mean by standing out though, is more that this was the song I heard my brother play the most when he was in his Umphrey's kick.

From the mellow piano start to the high power ending, this song travels all over the music spectrum.

There's a lot of cool stuff that goes on in their music, so check out more of it.
