Umphrey's McGee have announced a fall tour of North American theatres which will include their Halloween Monster Mash-Up in St. Louis on October 30 and 31. As always, along the way Umphrey's continues to raise the bar for fan experiences, with their innovative and interactive Stew Art events planned in at least a few markets.
Umphry's McGee's will host their Stew Art Series (aka, "S2") – an interactive fan experience where audience members "conduct" the band's live improvisations - in at least of few markets along the fall tour. Presented as individual events before that evening's already schedule show, Umphrey's Stew Art Series is a crowd-sourced improvisation experiment, in which all the music performed by the group on stage is entirely directed by S2 audience members.
