About Umphrey's McGee:
Fans who have followed Chicago based Umphrey's McGee for any period of time know that there are only two guarantees: you never know what you’re going to get, and Umphrey's always delivers. How else can a band be relentlessly innovative in both music AND fan relations for 15 years? Formed in 1997 at the University of Notre Dame, the band has cultivated a loyal and rabid fanbase from all over the US and beyond, incorporating a sophisticated mix of cutting-edge technology, a stellar light show, and a multi-genre explosive experience complete with playful covers (ranging from Toto to Metallica). The combination of accessibility and unpredictability has made Umphrey's McGee a top-billed name in the festival circuit. Their latest release 'Death By Stereo' (ATO Records) is a concise, melodic batch of clever arrangements with meticulously crafted chordal interplay and virtuoso instrumentation that puts Umphrey's McGee in a category all their own.

About STS9:
Sound Tribe Sector 9 (STS9), formed in Atlanta over a decade ago, has risen to the forefront of the international music scene. Consistently ranked among Pollstar magazine's list of top-grossing touring acts, STS9 boasts a genre-defying list of opening acts along the way including Snoop Dogg, Ghostland Observatory, Bassnectar, Thievery Corporation, Pretty Lights, Big Boi of Outkast and countless others. The now Santa Cruz-based quintet has sold out the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado; performed at Ultra Music Festival, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, Outside Lands, Coachella and Electric Daisy Carnival among many other top festivals; sold out shows across the country as an acoustic set-up in opera houses or as an electronic act in amphitheatres; performed with Jay-Z in arenas; and have raised significant amounts of money towards activism efforts (including $150,000 to the Make It Right Foundation, paving the way to rebuild a house in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans).
