The band that shows up in Buffalo
The Town Ballroom date is the band’s second Upstate New York stop of the run and the first of the two, five days ahead of Albany.
Umphrey’s McGee arrive at this tour with a drummer who has been in the permanent chair since August 2025. Scotty Zwang took the job during an encore in Peoria, Illinois, three months after Kris Myers resigned following 22 years with the band. Zwang is the third drummer in the group’s history.
The tour also follows Blueprints, the six-song album released on September 12, 2025 and built entirely from improvisations that first appeared at the band’s UMBowl events.
Tour dates are listed on the band’s site.
