OHMphrey Years active January 2008 - present Labels Magna Carta Records Associated acts Ohm, Umphrey's McGee Website http://www.myspace.com/ohmphrey OHMphrey, is an American collaborative project formed in January 2008 featuring three members of the Chicago-based jam-band Umphrey's McGee (keyboardist Joel Cummins, guitarist Jake Cinninger and drummer Kris Myers) and OHM guitarist Chris Poland, a legendary player who’s perhaps best known for work with headbanging pioneers Megadeth, and bassist Robertino Pagliari (a.k.a. “Pag”).
The bands met and played together for the first time at Martyrs’ Restaurant and Pub in Umphrey’s McGee’s hometown of Chicago. After their Chicago meeting the idea for a collaborative project between the two bands was formed. Soon the opportunity arose to record in a band setting and the five that would become OHMphrey want to Poland’s downtown L.A. studio to rekindle the experience they created months earlier at the Chicago gig. The band recorded over the course of two days resulting in a unique and improv-heavy album.
The band released their self-titled debut "OHMphrey" on May 19, 2009 with Magna Carta Records.
