The latest batch friends to hit the road for a series of collaboration heavy performances are Umphreys McGee and Galactic, who are currently working their way through the Northeast. Last night, the longtime friends performed at New Hampshires Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom. At the start of Umphreys McGees second set, Galactics

Umphreys McGee will perform at Northampton, MAs The Pines Theatre at Look Park tonight , before linking-up with Galactic for a performance at New Yorks Central Park SummerStage tomorrow.
