Nothing Too Fancy Music is pleased to announce Top Note Sessions, the next sonic adventure from Umphrey’s McGee. The band will take over the intimate Top Note on the 4th floor of Chicago's iconic Metro. This hidden gem that few know of, and even fewer have ever experienced, will be transformed into a studio this December.

And UM would like to cordially extend the invite for you to join in during the sessions. 

On the evenings of December 10th, 11th and 12th, the band will pull back the curtain and stretch the days recording into an evening of live streamed UM. Tune in from the comfort of home and watch a unique spin on couch tour unfold. 

This historic building is rich with tradition and Metro’s Top Note has stories to tell. From the first versions of “November Rain” taking shape inside the space, Top Note has hosted rehearsals and performances by Guns N’ Roses, Beastie Boys, Tori Amos, Henry Rollins, Smashing Pumpkins and more. Join as UM channel’s the inspiration in those walls.  

Wait, you absolutely have to be there in person? If you insist.

UM is able to offer 90 tickets per night for fans to experience the sessions from the mini theater turned studio. All patrons will consume the show through wireless Headphones (& Snowcones) to ensure the fidelity and clarity of the studio recording. Every guest will receive a limited edition, screen printed handbill to commemorate Top Note Sessions. The limited quantity of tickets will be available via a lottery request period. Requests can be submitted now through Monday, November 25th at Noon CT. Credit card information must be supplied at the time of sign up. If selected as a lottery winner, your credit card will automatically be charged. If you are not selected as a winner, your credit card will not be charged.
