Umphrey's McGee Live Performance of 'August' at Wanee Festival

Venue: Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park Location: Live Oak, Florida, United States Date: April 11, 2014

In April 2014, during the Wanee Festival performance in Live Oak, Florida, Umphrey’s McGee was riding high on the success of their 2014 album, "Similar Skin," which was released shortly thereafter in June. This live show took place just months before the studio album dropped, marking a significant period of transition in their career, as they were moving towards more refined songwriting and experimenting with different genres. Notably, Umphrey’s McGee is well-known for their improvisational skills and the use of technology in their live performances, which contributes to their distinct sound. The 2014 Wanee Festival performance exemplifies their electric stage presence and connection with the audience, a hallmark of their shows that has helped cultivate a passionate fan base. This particular concert also reflects their commitment to live music and improvisation, offering a snapshot of the band's evolving artistry at that time.
