Umphrey's McGee Guitar Team Jake Cinninger and Brendan Bayliss in Special GIT Clinic

|    Oct 29, 2009

On Thursday, October 29, MI welcomes Jake Cinninger and Brendan Bayliss, the twin-guitar tag team powering prog-rock icons Umphrey's McGee, for a one-of-a-kind guitar clinic event.  

Chicago-based Umphrey’s McGee is arguably the most successful young jam band in the country, if not the world. The band has legions of devoted fans from coast to coast, and now MI students will find out why: from spectacular dual-guitar harmonies to innovative audience interaction (at some shows, the band's fans can text musical suggestions that the band follows mid-performance) to ambitious musical mash-ups (they're known for fusing Pink Floyd with Michael Jackson, Nine Inch Nails with the Beatles, etc., which is exactly what they’ll be doing at the House of Blues in West Hollywood after the clinic), Umphrey's McGee is one the most inspired and inspiring up-and-coming guitar bands on the national scene.
