Suwannee Hulaween 2017 Live Review Umphreys McGee

WATCH: Umphrey’s McGee at Suwannee Hulaween 2017

by Richie Williams • November 7, 2017

The Thursday pre-party evening at Suwannee Hulaween is going down like this: 5:30 Spafford, 6:30 Lettuce, 7:45 Umphrey’s McGee, 8:45 Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, 9:45 Umphrey’s McGee, 11:00 Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, 12:30 Greensky Bluegrass. I’m beside myself as I roam back back and forth from one stage to the other. This stellar Thursday line up makes for my favorite night of the festival, but I might be biased just a little bit. \mm/

This is my 12th Umphrey’s show of the year, and it is really giving that second night from the 3-night Atlanta run at the beginning of the year a run for its money. It is even competing with that fire Orlando show from the 4-night Florida run back in April. At any rate, these three aforementioned shows are definitely my top three UM shows of the year.

My homies play two sets on The Patch Stage with an hour break in between. Below you can watch both sets of my favorite band on the planet, courtesy of The Sober Goat! I only missed the first few minutes of second set because, of course, I was watching JRAD at The Amphitheatre Stage. Shout out to all my friends in The HAM FAM! I thought about everyone during “Push The Pig.”

COME PARTY WITH THE SOBER GOAT! I will be attending three nights of Umphrey’s including the best damn new year’s eve party ever at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, December 29-31. If you’ll be there, let’s hang out. I really hope it’s snowing, this Florida boy could use some snowboarding in his life!
