Umphrey's McGee came together in South Bend, Indiana, in 1997, and they have been refusing to pick a lane ever since. Progressive rock is the home base, but the band cheerfully wanders into metal, funk, jazz, blues, reggae, electronic music, bluegrass, country and folk. Brendan Bayliss is joined by Jake Cinninger on electric guitar, Joel Cummins on keyboards, Ryan Stasik on bass, Kris Myers on drums and Andy Farag, on board since 1998; Mike Mirro held the drum stool for the early years, through 2002.
Anchor Drops, from 2004, is where rock radio caught up with them, by way of "In the Kitchen". But this is a band that lives on the road, touring regularly and releasing records along the way, and since 2002 they have headlined and organized their own Summer Camp Music Festival, held every year at Three Sisters Park in Chillicothe, Illinois.
