Umphrey’s McGee – June 7th – Red Rocks Amphitheatre

Estimated read time 7 min read

Umphrey’s McGee made a triumphant entrance to the Red Rocks stage with Edvard Griegs’ epic “Hall of The Mountain King” blaring on the PA. With drummer Kris Meyers adding some thunder to the backing track and bassist Ryan Stasik pumping up the crowd with the two handed rock lock, the crowd quickly whipped into a frenzy and the band dropped into “Divisions.” This was a perfect way to get things going and the syncopated fireworks displayed by guitar players Jake Cinniger and Brendon Bayliss were a sign of things to come.

The sold-out house filled in long before headliner Dr. Dog took the stage on Tuesday night at The Boulder Theater. The majority of the crowd was under twenty-five, with popped bills, flannels, and various other touches of the Northwest that reminded us all that fall was in the air. The band lit up their huge American flag backdrop and set the fans on fire. It was a Tuesday night, but the crowd was ready to go, and they went all night as these indie all-stars brought it hard and heavy.

Estimated read time 12 min read

Listen Up Denver! got to sit down with Cline as the band was in the midst of their spring tour. He had just crawled out of his bunk on a tour bus in southern Alabama and was sipping coffee as he stared out the window at the band’s crew playing football outside. For the most part, Cline is a regular guy, with regular problems and bills to pay just like the rest of us. The difference is, he pays those bills by playing guitar in Wilco.
