What happens when a band becomes so popular that fans demand more than what their touring schedule has to offer? Umphrey's Mondays has become the solution to the band obsessed fan's craving for one of the scene's powerhouses, Umphrey's McGee.

"Summer of 2011, Umphrey's was promoting the release of their new album Death By Stereo and held a contest for fans to win a Death By Stereo Album Release Party. So I submitted an entry, a short story, as to why Denver should be one of seven cities to win said party. Well, we won, threw the party at Pete's Monkey Bar, had an amazing turnout and a total blast. That gave me the idea of throwing parties like this more often. Widespread Wednesdays were always a hit in Denver, so I thought why not Umphrey's Mondays?!" Abby said about the beginning of UMonday's.
"Sometimes I can’t believe

While reflecting on the diversity of the event and the direction in which it could grow, Abby is thinking big. "For the future of Umphrey’s Mondays, I see them continuing to get bigger and better in terms of the number of people. The more love this area shows for the band, hopefully the more multiple-night runs and holiday shows we will see in Colorado. I see us doing more live webcast and iClips viewing parties and Skype sessions with the band members too. Umphrey’s also has a reputation as one of the most fan-friendly bands out there- they are always so generous with their VIP Packages and hosting events with their fans pre and post-show. It would be great to turn

In the meantime, the events continue to grow with leaps and bounds and on the brink of a couple of huge Umphrey's shows at both Red Rocks and Boulder Theater, the crew assembles once more to open up the week of Rage. Join Abby and a bunch of UMphreaks tonight at The Highland Tap & Burger where we will be streaming NYE 12.31.11 as well as giving away multiple pairs of tickets to Friday's UM/RRE Red Rocks show! We'll see you at The Highland Tap & Burger!
