Umphrey’s McGee

In August 2014, during the performance of "Hajimemashite" at the Gathering of the Vibes Music Festival, Umphrey's McGee was actively promoting their album "Similar Skin," which had been released just a couple of months earlier in June 2014. This album marked a significant phase in their career, as it was their first studio release that allowed full fan engagement for input through their fan club and PledgeMusic campaign. Additionally, "Similar Skin" showcased the band's distinctive progressive rock sound and incorporated various genres, reflecting their evolution as a band. The band's live performances have always played a pivotal role in their identity, with notable improvisation and fan interaction, and this festival appearance exemplified their reputation for energetic and dynamic live shows.
