Umphrey's McGee Performs Live at Summer Camp Music Festival 2011

Venue: Three Sisters Park Location: Chillicothe, Illinois, United States Date: May 27, 2011

In May 2011, when Umphrey's McGee performed at the Summer Camp Music Festival, they were riding high on the momentum from their studio album "Death by Stereo," which was released in 2009. This album represented a significant step in their evolution, showcasing a blend of progressive rock, jazz, and jam band influences that the band had become known for. Following this live performance, Umphrey’s McGee would release "Similar Skin" in 2014, which continued to push their musical boundaries. The band's robust touring schedule during this period also contributed to a growing fanbase, making them a staple at festivals across the United States. Notably, their commitment to live improvisation and dynamic performances, exemplified in the Summer Camp set, reflects their ethos of blending meticulous composition with spontaneous creativity, fostering a unique live music experience.
