“Chicago-based Umphrey’s McGee returns this fall with a new studio album, Death By Stereo, available on 9/13 via ATO Records. Over the past 13 years, the group has built a rabid fan base through endless touring and more than 120 shows a year. They have released 11 albums, nearly every live show for 6+ years and sold more than 1.5 million digital tracks. Death By Stereo is the much-anticipated followup album to their critically-acclaimed 2009 studio release Mantis, which was praised in top outlets like Rolling Stone, The New York Times and The Washington Post. Mantis included a groundbreaking pre-order campaign, which sold over 8000 units in the first week and debuted at #62 on the Billboard chart.”
“Death By Stereo is a hybrid of what makes Umphrey’s McGee so appealing to a wide spectrum of music fans. Filled with a healthy combination of focused, hard-hitting rock songs & head bobbing, groove-driven tracks, the record has something for everybody. The new album features a smattering of road-tested fan favorites as well as some of the slickest, unreleased compositions the band has released to date.”
“Umphrey’s McGee’s constantly evolving sound channels a wide spectrum of influences while still preselVing their distinct voice through crafty songwriting. With a massive repertoire of originals and note-perlect covers, their live shows are like flipping through the presets on your radio dial. Their A.DD. approach to ”progressive improvisation” utilizes a set of Zappa-inspired hand signals allowing them to orchestrate their melodic creations on the fly. ”

“August 12th & 13th in the hills of Brown County, Indiana at the Valley Branch Retreat. As always, Green-Stock features a diverse mix of bands that appeal to any lover of good music and fantastic times. This year’s festival features a wide range of music from blues, to funk, to jazz, to jam, to rock. The Green-Stock Music Festival has a style and taste for everyone. The lineup this year should be bigger than ever (we plan to have 20 acts). So do not miss out on what is going to be our best year yet.
This fesitval is named Green-Stock for a reason. A musical gathering for green awareness is our motto. The festival will hold presentations and lectures on green technology and the best environmental practices that you can use.
Green-Stock offers much more than excellent live music. We have huge paintball fields and miles of mountain biking trails. A small lake is here for swimmers and fishermen (and the occassional dog). We also have tetherball. Yay for that.” From Green Stock
