Umphrey's McGee sets schedule for fall

Improvisational jam band Umphrey's McGee will kick off its upcoming fall tour with an Aug. 20 appearance at Davenport, IA's River Roots Live Festival.

The Chicago-based group has scheduled an eclectic mix of venues for its latest tour, including several festival appearances and an Aug. 21 show at the Minnesota Zoo in Apple Valley, MN.

The band's fall outing wraps up with a two-day late October stint at the Vegoose Festival in Las Vegas, which also features Dave Mathews, The Arcade Fire and Flaming Lips, among other acts.

Umphrey's McGee has also announced its second DVD release, "Wrapped Around Chicago: New Year's at the Riv," a two-disc set documenting two late-2004 concerts at Chicago's Riviera Theatre. The DVD set will hit stores Oct. 18.

The band's most recent studio album was 2004's "Anchor Drops." A single from that album, "In the Kitchen" received Song of the Year honors at April's Jammy Awards ceremony in New York.
