New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Shore Fire Media) "Prog-rock powerhouse" (Denver Post) Umphrey's McGee will bring their shape-shifting brand of experimental rock 'n roll to the House of Blues in West Hollywood on Friday, March 22 and Saturday, March 23. The West Hollywood stop is part of the band's 2013 tour celebrating "15 Years of Facemelting," which will hit more than 50 venues nationwide and include performances at Sumer Camp
Music Festival, Wakarusa, and Camp Bisco.

Chicago sextet, whose "stream-of-consciousness playing" was compared to
John Coltrane and Ornette Coleman in a 2012 Relix cover story, is on the road through the summer. Consequence of Sound recently praised Umphrey's McGee for their "high-quality, often transcendent shows" and Village Voice noted the group's "impeccable playing and pristine arrangements."
