Umphrey’s McGee 

with Big Something 

Tickets: $27.50 and up in advance (plus applicable surcharges), $35 at the door

The music of Umphrey’s McGee unfolds like an unpredictable conversation between longtime friends. Its sixparticipants—Brendan Bayliss [guitar, vocals], Jake Cinninger [guitar, vocals], Joel Cummins [keyboards, piano, vocals], Andy Farag [percussion], Kris Myers [drums, vocals], and Ryan Stasik [bass]—know just how to communicate with each other on stage and in the studio. A call of progressive guitar wizardry might elicit a response of soft acoustic balladry, or a funk groove could be answered by explosive percussion. At any moment, heavy guitars can give way to heavier blues as the boys uncover the elusive nexus between jaw-dropping instrumental virtuosity and airtight song craft.

Fletcher

“FLETCHER with one of the catchiest pop breakouts in 2019” – Billboard

 “The singer serving the relatable realness she’d once been searching for” – Wonderland

FLETCHER – who has been heralded as an Artist to Watch by Billboard while simultaneously earning admiration from Wonderland, PAPER, TIME, GQ and countless others – hails from a beach town in New Jersey, where she cultivated her verve for music and candid lexicon. Fast-forward years later, her surname has taken on a form of its own. You may recognize FLETCHER from her popular music videos on YouTube or on Spotify where she’s been the cover of New Music Friday three times to date in her fresh career or maybe you’ve seen her on stage – at Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Life is Beautiful, or one of the many festivals she has under her belt. The singer-songwriter has already begun carving out a space for herself in pop music, and it’s clear that she has much more to say.  

On her forthcoming project – FLETCHER wears her heart on her sleeve, poignantly portraying her  personal story of why you always remember your first for better and for worse. Set for release in August with Capitol Records, the project was executive-produced by Malay (Frank Ocean, Lorde, Sam Smith) and includes her breakthrough hit “Undrunk,” which has amassed more than 100 million streams worldwide since earning the #1 spot on Spotify’s Viral Chart and the most impressive debut in five years for a new artist at pop radio (spending several weeks on the Billboard Hot 100.)

THE HU – The Gereg Tour at The Stone Pony on Friday, Sept. 27, 2019

Tickets: $20 in advance (plus applicable surcharges), $25 at the door

The HU is a band from Mongolia that blends hard rock and traditional Mongolian throat singing. Their first two videos (“Yuve Yuve Yu” and “Wolf Totem”) immediately went viral garnering the band over 30 million views. The explosive reaction to The HU resulted in a number of features about the band in global media such as NPR, GQ, The Independent, VICE, ET India Times, Playboy Mexico, Jack Canal+Fr, Hong Kong 01, DW as well as a sold out European Headline tour.

The Hu stands for the Mongolian root word for human being, inspiring their original style of music that they call “Hunnu Rock.” The band pull Inspiration from the Hunnu, an ancient Mongolian empire better known as The Huns in western culture. Their music is deeply embedded with their ancient culture, even integrating old Mongolian war cries and poetry into their lyrics.

The group was founded in 2016 in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia by their producer Dashka, along with band members Gala, Jaya, Temka, and Enkush. Together they create rock music with traditional Mongolian instrumentation such as the Morin Khuur (horsehead fiddle), Tovshuur (Mongolian guitar), Tumur Khuur (jaw harp), guttural throat singing built around the pillars of heavy rock: distorted guitars, bombastic drums, and aggressive rhythms. All four members have earned Bachelor’s or higher degrees in classical music and have gained several years of touring experience throughout Asia and the Pacific Rim. The band’s inaugural performance as The HU was in June 2019 in their hometown, followed by their first headlining European and UK tour this past June and July which sold out. The band also debuted this summer on several major festivals including in Download Festival, Rock Am Park, and more.

Since the formation of the band, they’ve been working on their debut album entitled The Gereg. The word was used as the first diplomatic “password” by the Mongol empire during the time of Genghis Khan. The album contains nine songs including the recently released “Yuve Yuve Yu,” “Wolf Totem”, and “Shoog Shoog” and is slated for a global release on September 13, 2019 on Eleven Seven Music.

Melvin Seals & JGB

with special guest John Kadlecik on guitar

plus Moonalice

Tickets: $25 in advance (plus applicable surcharges), $30 at the door

Melvin Seals has been a powerful presence in the music industry for over 30 years with a long-established reputation as a performer, recording artist and producer. Melvin is most revered for his powerful, high-spirited, Hammond B-3 organ, and keyboards in the Jerry Garcia Band. Melvin spun his B-3 magic with the Jerry Garcia Band for 18 years and in doing so helped pioneer and define what has now become “Jam Band Music”. From blues to funk to rock to jazz, he serves up a tasty mix with a little R&B and gospel thrown in to spice things up.

Melvin Seals and JGB bring an intuitive, expressive style, soul, spontaneity and remarkable chops to the table. John Kadlecik (Furthur, DSO, Golden Gate Wingmen) will be on lead guitar and vocal duties with John-Paul McLean’s savory bass, Pete Lavezzoli’s hearty drums and, of course, a heapin’ helpin’ of the wizard’s magic on Hammond B-3 organ and keyboards. Along with Sunshine Becker and Lady Chi on backup vocals, the result is a most satisfying blend of natural organic grooves that challenge genre boundaries. Their chemistry is the focus from which they create a spontaneous and high art where the sky is the limit musically. They offer an exciting, often psychedelic musical journey that changes nightly and keeps the audience dancing and smiling (and some staring in amazement) for hours.

Adding Melvin’s rock-gospel-soul-rhythm and blues touch with his funky style of playing, no wonder Jerry nicknamed him “Master of the Universe.” He continues to treat music lovers to his unique brand of melodic flavor with JGB. Come see and hear for yourself!
