Umphrey's McGee
The best band you've never heard of. Are hardly a "jam band" because they put every other band in the field to shame with their ridiculous musicianship. Consists of six accomplished musicians, half of which have college degrees in music. Songs are a mixture of technical, tightly composed music (featuring odd time signatures, unexpected key changes, and brilliant melodies), excellent lyricism, and
UM's hilarious sense of humor, puncutated by the amazing guitar playing of Brendan
Bayliss and
Jake Cinninger and drumming of Kris Myers. Definitely music for musicians, but can be enjoyed by all.
