Umphrey’s McGee

On February 15, 2020, during a notable performance at the Explore Asheville Arena, Umphrey's McGee was at a significant point in their career, having recently released their album "it's not us" in 2018. By this time, they were well-established within the jam band scene, known for their eclectic sound and engaging live performances, which often incorporated covers like Jimi Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile." This particular performance showcases the collaborative spirit of the band, particularly in their alignment with Billy Strings, a prominent figure in the acoustic and bluegrass genres. Their ability to blend genres while maintaining a distinct identity is part of their appeal, and this collaborative effort exemplifies their commitment to live improvisation and musical exploration. Additionally, the release of "it's not us" marked a continued evolution in their sound and a reaffirmation of their place in the contemporary music landscape.
