Brendan Bayliss and Jake Cinninger of Umphrey’s McGee will host the 10th Annual Brendan and Jake Acoustic Holiday Show at Park West in Chicago on December 8 at 7:30pm. A portion of this year’s proceeds will go to Snow City Arts, an organization that provides music and arts education for hospitalized children. Doors, and the bar, will open early for the 3rd Annual UM Holiday Garage Sale, where the band will sell off old merch, including a selection of rare posters, and donate a portion of the proceeds to charity. Tickets to the event are $25 and can be purchased here. You can watch a video of Brendan Bayliss and Jake Cinninger at the 2008 Acoustic Holiday Show above.

Joel Cummins and Kris Myers will play the official after-show at the Bottom Lounge with Digital Tape Machine.
The electronic side project consists of Cummins and Myers, as well as Joe Hettinga, David Arredondo, Marcus Rezak and Dan Rucinski. The group will be playing a few shows in Indiana and Illinois this December. A full list of their dates can be viewed below.
