Last weekend Listen Up Denver! got the chance to sit down with Jake Cinninger, Kris Myers and Ryan Stasik of Umphrey’s McGee at sloppy mudfest that was Wakarusa. The band is celebrating their 15th year together and is thrilled to be taking the stage at Red Rocks again this summer. As the mainstage thundered away in the background, we talked about their favorite memories on The Rocks, their pre-show rituals and how much practicing it takes to maintain their incredibly tight performances.
