Umphrey's McGee is a progressive rock/jam band from South Bend, Indiana whose music is often referred to as "progressive improvisation." In July 2004, the band was declared by Rolling Stone Magazine to "have become odds-on favorites in the next-Phish sweepstakes."

Though the band's approach to their live performances has much in common with Phish and the Grateful Dead (ever-changing setlists, constant improvisation, two sets per night, open-taping policy), they are much more influenced musically by progressive rock bands such as King Crimson, Yes, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Frank Zappa, and Genesis, as well as heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden. The band also "identifies The Police, The Beatles, The Monkees, Nick D'Virgilio, and Led Zeppelin as primary influences with a reverence the members describe as 'Biblical.'" However, there really isn't a style of popular music that Umphrey's does not cover. Artists covered in concert by Umphrey's range from Lionel Richie to Metallica to Toto to Snoop Dogg to Paul Simon to Radiohead to The Rolling Stones.- wikipedia 
 
Umphrey’s McGee recently announced that they will be playing the famous Bonnaroo Festival for the 5th consecutive year. The band will be playing in top billing alongside such heavyweights as Pearl Jam, Metallica, Jack Johnson, Kayne West and Robert Plant. The band also announced their addition to the Summer Camp festival in May, where they will be playing alongside The Flaming Lips. 

 

“Umphrey’s McGee combines crisp song construction and vocal-harmony sunlight with a high-speed, improvised daring onstage.”- Rolling Stone

YOUNG FILMMAKER HOPES TO RAISE MONEY FOR WISH KIDS
Local Independent Film "Animate My Heart" Premiers at the Green Room Theatre

"It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive."  This quote by Henry David Thoreau is among the first lines of local filmmaker Joe Boyle's latest film "Animate My Heart," and it precisely sums up the theme.  A young child is struck with cancer at an early age, but even in the face of imminent tragedy, he maintains a vivid, lively imagination.

"All of us face trials in our everyday lives and I think it's important to be able to keep our minds thinking sharply and creatively in order to face those trials," says Boyle.  "In our society, the imagination has been greatly neglected and even discouraged.  That's one of the reasons this was an important film to make." 

Beyond exploring the devastation that can occur to the imagination, "Animate My Heart" explores the ruin that is visited upon an individual when such a horrendous disease touches them.

"This film was a very personal experience" says filmmaker Joe Boyle.  "My sister had cancer twice at a young age and still suffers ill effects from the disease.  The Make-A-Wish Foundation granted her some much needed repose from her pain by giving us a family trip to Florida.  I want to be able to give that to another Wish Kid." 

The 50 minute film stars local performers Tracy Pelzer-Timm, Jonah Luebke, and Tom Morrow.  The musical score was composed and performed by local musician Leah Knudsen, with compositions by Jake Cowan and Aiden Landman.

"By screening this film to the public, I hope to remind people of the horrors of this disease.  I hope that the members of our community will get behind this cause," says Boyle.

"Animate My Heart" (which was scheduled to open late last year, but could not due to technical difficulties) will open Saturday, February 2nd at the Green Room Theatre, 1611 2nd Avenue, in the District of Rock Island at 8:00 PM.  Additionally, there will be special musical performances by the film's composer Leah Knudsen and also by the Jamey Cummins band.  Cost is only $5.00 and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Make-A-Wish foundation.

This film is the latest from 22 year old local filmmaker Joe Boyle.  He has been writing and directing films for the past 10 years.  His films have screened and won several awards in various film festivals, ranging from local and regional events to festivals in Los Angeles, Seattle, and Canada.
