Umphrey’s McGee’s 25th anniversary tour stops in St. Pete on Thursday

This year, progressive-jam band Umphrey’s McGee celebrates 25 years of existence.

While we didn’t get one of its live “Hall of Fame” albums last year—a series of compilations featuring the most popular live performances among fans—its latest studio album Asking For a Friend is loaded with exemplary guitar and keyboard work.

Hopefully, the band’s first local, post-COVID stop will be memorable enough that enough fans will nominate our neck of the woods for Hall of Fame Class of 2023 next year.

Tickets to see Umphrey’s McGee play Jannus Live in St. Petersburg on Thursday, April 13 are still available for $35.
