Umphrey's McGee Give Fans Love for 'ValUMtine's Day'

When Umphrey's McGee rolls into the Rams Head Live! in Baltimore, Md. on February 14, they plan to give fans a special Valentine's Day -- or, as they're calling it, ValUMtine's Day -- treat. The band has come up with a list of eight choice love-themed cover songs and are letting fans vote for which one they go with. The choices are rich -- they include Wilco's "I Am Trying to Break Your Heart," Beck's "I Think I'm in Love," and Def Leppard's "Love Bites." Vote here.

In a separate contest, the band has invited fans to film a video demonstrating their love for their favorite Umphrey's song -- be it a music video, a short using the song as the soundtrack or even a karaoke clip. Candidates are asked to post their videos to YouTube and the winner gets a prize pack including tickets to the Valentine's Day show and a meet-and-greet with the band later that night. Geez, we would've just been happy with roses and chocolate. For more information on both of these V-Day specials, visit the band's official website. See the full list of potential cover songs after the jump.
