Jam Legends Umphrey’s McGee to Replace Joe Russo’s Almost Dead at Hulaween

October 21, 2021August 15, 2022 by Franz Hilberath No Comments

Due to unfortunate and unforseen circumstances, 2022 headliner Joe Russo’s Almost Dead will not be able to perform at this year’s sold-out Suwannee Hulaween. Instead, Hula veterans and jam band icons Umphrey’s McGee will fill in to provide their own experimental blend of rock, metal, funk, jazz, blues, reggae, electronic, folk and more.

Taking place Thursday, October 28 through Sunday, October 31 in Live Oak, FL, Hula will bring in over 100 of the most diverse live and electronic acts to Spirit of Suwannee Music Park. Since its inception in 2013, the Halloween-themed festival has evolved into one of the country’s leading cross-genre festivals, and this year looks to be one of its biggest yet.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, we regret to inform you that @RussoAlmostDead will not be making it to Hulaween this year for their scheduled performance. Luckily our good friends @umphreysmcgee are stepping up to fill in for JRAD on Thursday Oct 28th (cont 🧵)👇 pic.twitter.com/oQcI397uxd
