Umphrey’s McGee guitarists Jake Cinninger and Brendan Bayliss won’t be able to carry out what would have been the 18th edition of their annual acoustic holiday show in front of their fans this year, but the two will still look to deliver some feel-good music for their fans online.
A post shared to Umphrey’s social media pages on Wednesday confirmed the upcoming 2020 installment of their duet holiday performance will take place on Saturday, December 12th, from inside the “Vinyl Room” of Bayliss’ home (though the exact time hasn’t been confirmed). The guitarist also delivered an 18-minute livestream set via YouTube on Wednesday, where he confirmed the location of this year’s holiday performance while showing off his new Fender “Acoustasonic” guitar.
Relive Wednesday’s livestream in the video below, which hears Bayliss and his new guitar play some choice covers including The Police‘s “Don’t Stand So Close To Me”, Paul Simon‘s “Slip Slidin’ Away”, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young‘s “4 + 20”, and more.
