Umphrey’s McGee Announces One Show at The Wilma and Two at The ELM
Progressive rock mainstay, Umphrey’s McGee, will return to Montana for three shows in 2023, performing at The Wilma on Friday, September 15th, followed by a pair of shows at The ELM on Saturday, September 16th and Sunday, September 17th. These will be “evening with” performances, so there will be no openers… just UMPH!
The jam-heavy sextet is known for their adventurous, unpredictable and highly energetic live concerts. Not many bands can effortlessly flow from hard rock headbangers to spaced out electronica, but that’s exactly the type of genre weaving expertise you can expect from Umphrey’s McGee. Check out these photo galleries to see some of the fun Montanans have had with Umph in the past.
Over the past two and a half decades, Umphrey’s McGee have played 2,200 gigs and sold over 5 million tracks. They became the “first group to launch its own single artist streaming service” with UMLive.net, which houses recordings of every gig since 2005. They innovated the fan’s live concert experience with their groundbreaking “Headphones & Snowcones” program, granting fans access to professional headphones and a soundboard-quality mix at shows. In 2022, they released their 14th studio album, Asking For A Friend.
Nobody puts on a live performance like Umphrey’s McGee so do yourself a favor and make it to one of these shows… or all of them! They are all on the weekend after all!

About Umphrey's McGee
In the twenty-five years since eclectic improv-rock band Umphrey’s McGee formed, their sound has been an amalgamation of genres, moods, and tempos, effortlessly flowing from one feeling to the next throughout an album or concert—or sometimes within a singular song. But with time and repetition comes wisdom and maturity, both personally and musically, and in the case of the band’s new album Asking For A Friend, Umphrey’s McGee entered the recording studio with something to say and a wise, measured way to say it.
The end result is an astoundingly cohesive fourteen-song album that feels like a fresh statement from a group of world-class musicians and friends reapproaching their craft with a new lens. But long-time fans will be happy to know that the Umphrey’s McGee they know and love is still very much present on Asking For A Friend, just more refined. More focused.
