Fans of talented musical feats of improvisation, listen up! Long-running jam/prog gurus Umphrey’s McGee will return to Virginia next week for a performance at Charlottesville’s Jefferson Theater, and you could attend for free courtesy of your friends at RVA Mag! The Indiana sextet released their eighth studio album, Similar Skin, last year; the album was their first after leaving ATO Records for their own Nothing Too Fancy label. The transition too self-employment doesn’t seem to have hurt the band’s boundless energy or songwriting prowess one iota, as can be seen on this live-in-studio footage featuring new song “Puppet String”:

And now you can see the group recreate this magic live on the Jefferson Theater stage, not just for one song but for two full sets of progressive tuneage. Get your tickets now!

WHAT: An Evening with Umphrey’s McGee at The Jefferson Theater!
WHERE: Jefferson Theater, 110 E. Main St, Charlottesville VA
WHEN: Wed, Feb 11; Doors open at 8 PM
