An enormous thank you to all of the in-house LD’s, techs, stagehands and electricians who helped make this first leg of tour run smoothly! Y’all accommodated our touring package and got your hands dirty building and tearing it down.

Focusing all those extra positions for the mirror looks was not easy - So getting up and running in a timely fashion was crucial, and greatly appreciated 🙏

And of course a forever shoutout to the UMCrew - Louie, Bob, Robbie, Chris + Bobby.

(Many venues not pictured here. Some load outs don’t exactly have “take a mirror selfie” vibes/time/space. Much love to all those places too 😂 )

🤩 Well done peeps!!! We raised over $2,000 last night. Such a good time hanging in the live chat, talkin shit and nerding out. Pretty incredible for this lighting/UM community to come together like that. 💕🙏 The show footage is now available on my YouTube for anyone who missed the live premiere. It’s some good Umphrey’s. ✌️

I will be premiering the wide angle, full show footage from our show at the Salt Shed tonight at 730EST on my YouTube channel as a fundraising effort for an incredible organization of people doing work on the ground in Minnesota.

Being in Minneapolis this past Saturday was intense. My thoughts were already stirring all week leading up to our show, knowing how much was going on in the city. To wake up to the news of yet another disgusting display of violence on behalf of this administration and ICE, and then have our show canceled, made the weight of being there undeniable.

I have been in touch with a handful of locals, and they all mention Monarca MN as an org who is doing urgent work that needs funding.

I have been wanting to share this footage for a while, as it is some of the proudest work of my career. (Including my fuck up in the very first song LOL) I hope you will tune in to check it out, and use the show as an opportunity to donate some material support to a community in need. I’ll be in the live chat interacting with those who wanna hang, chat, ask questions about the mirror technology, etc …

Peace.

LASTLY - Plz try your best to not engage in arguments in the comment section if that comes up. Let’s use this social media tool as a mechanism for organizing, not pointless noise.

#umphreys NYE shows and the return of the moving mirrors! Feelin’ reaaaal proud of how these turned out. It was a blast to deploy this concept in two amazing spaces - @tabernacleatl and @saltshedchicago - with adequate trim height and depth to let the reflections throw.

I’ve heard some hilarious names from the community for each of these looks, so please drop a comment if you have one to contribute:
1 - “Unicorn Butthole”
2 - Prizmatic
3 - Baby Ur a Firework
6 - Oppa Green Bean Style

Gear: 20 @martinprofessional Axioms, 12 @official.megalite M-Sphere, 16 @asteraofficial Titan Tubes, 3 @chauvet_pro Strike M provided by @ectoproductionsinc

Great vibes in camp UM right now - with our rippin new drummer and fresh vibes heading into a dense winter tour! See yall out there.

Stoked be back programming on the M-Sphere’s in preparation for 4 big shows coming up soon! Can’t wait to share new tricks with a year of experience, the new MA3 console and (ideally) no fractured collarbone like last year. 🏂

Umphrey’s NYE in Atlanta and then Chicago right after. Let’s rip!
