Another year of Summer Camp came to a close Sunday evening after a day of music that was highlighted by two headlining sets from moe. and an afternoon offering from co-hosts Umphrey's McGee, plus an all-star Oteil & Friends performance.
First up were Umphrey's, who had been rained out of the second of their two-set affair the previous day. The band took the stage on Sunday afternoon for one set, which featured a duo of guests, Yonder Mountain String Band's Allie Kral and singer-songwriter Arlo McKinley, who was on the Summer Camp bill with his band, The Lonesome Sound. The two joined UM for the band's recently debuted cover of Tyler Childers' "Whitehouse Road."
Later on, bassist Oteil Burbridge offered his Friends set that featured guitarists Eric Krasno and Neal Casal, keyboardist (and Burbridge's Dead & Company bandmate) Jeff Chimenti, drummer John Kimock, vocalist Alfreda Gerald and percussionist Weedie Braimah. Watch a video of the band rolling through a cover of the Grateful Dead's "Franklin's Tower" below.
moe. wrapped up Summer Camp 2019 with two more sets on the festival's main stage and marked the occasion with a sit in from Casal, who joined the host band for a rendition of their own "Silver Sun."
