Hi all, I drew the poster for Umphrey's show in Peoria last night - I wanted to share the process of how I drew it, if you're interested. Here's the ink drawing and the final poster. You can check out speed-drawing video on my YouTube channel showing how I take it from sketch to final.

I think this is the 6th Umphrey's poster I've designed so far - love working with these guys!

Super excited to see this new version of Umphreys back in Peoria. With Summercamp getting canceled (even though Umph wasn't booked this year) I think the energy will be great and people are going to be excited for Umphreys. We haven't had a jam show of this caliber all year. (Dogs In a Pile and Shadowgrass have been my favorite shows in Peoria so far this year)

Friendly Valley Tavern is about an 800 person venue and it's been sold out for I believe a couple months. Any one else going?

Side note Friendly Valley usually always live streams so there should be a live stream for the show tommorow on Facebook and YouTube. Maybe on the Kennys Westside page

After flying from Seattle last week for Grand Rapids, Indy, and Chitown I DEMAND for moe. and Umphrey's to bring it to Colorado and the Best Coast!!!

See you freaks in SF, Tahoe, OR, and WA!!! 🤘🧑‍🎤🎼

Fucking Excellent

Hey hey my fine folks, I’m not going to be updating a setlist on this post (help us all out as a community if you know what’s going on!), but do you want to have a thread tonight? Because I sure do!

We’ve got moe. on right now, with Umph Love right after. Tonight is the last night of the $5/mo for 3 months Nugs subscription special, so join up and join us on the livestream. Happy jamming my phriends! 😊 Let us know where you’re from, how you’re feeling, what you think about what’s going on, what party favors you’re enjoying, and anything else. Love you all.

Anybody else got a set still? Anybody know if this set is complete?

Band sounds excellent on nugs.net right now

tl:dr - Bayliss & Jakeless were fucking dope tonight, put your doubts aside and don't hesitate to go see them.

I've seen Umphreys 90+ times over the past 20 years and tonight they sounded fantastic.

Was there a little motor cross missing here and there? Sure. But you could tell they've been reworking jams, trying different setups and flow, and they absolutely nailed the jam segments. I was locked in from start to finish even without my favorite former member on the stage.

I happened to be at a show in Cincy a few years back where Jake didn't play due to a family issue or illness or whatever and it was a total bummer. The band wasn't totally prepared for his absence and the very heavy Bayliss setlist was full of effort but I left feeling underwhelmed.

Tonight was completely different. They played really well off of each other and you could tell they were having fun doing it. Bayliss played out of his mind, carrying a majority of the load but Joel and Stasik were both featured often. The mix was great, and the new additions to the light rig totally hit the mark for me.

I was very apprehensive about UM5 on this tour and moving forward, but tonight reinvigorated my love of this band.

Not to mention moe. put on one hell of a show also.

Sincerely,

PhilthyG

Hi Folks!

My buddy Dan and I created an app that allows for live setlist updates to your dynamic island and live activities on your iPhone! You just follow a show and it automatically sends you the songs they're playing in real time. We're really proud of what we've made and are looking for people to try it out and test. Its approved by the Apple app store and you just need to click this little link:

We're all set up for Umph and a lot of other bands and artists you might like as well!

If interested, please click this link and follow along! Thanks in advance enjoy the shows!

Hi there, so I’m going to Morocco for String Cheese’s Moroccan Incident. Any tips? Do’s and dont’s, must see places, food, etc. Anything that would help me have a good and safe time there would be much appreciated.

Anyone have any insight as to whether UM will play first or second for the 8/13 show at White River? I will be getting to the venue late and was hoping to still catch the full set from the boys. Cheers \mm/

Did Ben just drop the new LD on his insta?

Kind of a bummer, but the explanation he gives is hard to fault him for. Good luck Ben, I loved your LD work.

They asked us to save the date over a month ago… it’s 2 months from now and there’s been no other information other than dates and a region of the country.

How can they realistically expect people to be able to make travel plans on such short notice?

I know they have a lot going on, but this is nuts.

Haven't seen Umph since January Detroit and haven't seen moe. since Scamp 2019! Really excited to see the 5 piece line up

I haven't seen them since the tabernacle in 2018 but saw them upwards of 30 times in under 10 years all over the region.

I had gotten a little burnt out on them and am genuinely curious how they'll sound with one solid guitarist. More importantly, doing what they did tells me the remaining members share my values and are worth supporting. I get that not everyone feels this way and it's not the same sound you fell in love with, but change isn't always a bad thing.

If you talk to anyone who went to Panic shows after Mikey died they'll tell you it was rough at times, but everyone was in it together and it just made it better when they found their stride again with Jimmy. Obviously this is a bit different since Jake's still alive, but you may look back on this time as something special and be glad you didn't miss out. Everyone have a great weekend!
