Umphrey’s McGee launch memorial auction today

In an effort to benefit the Eddie Hrebic Family Fund, Umphrey’s McGee today launched five special poster auctions on eBay. Hrebic, a friend of Umphrey’s, died recently of a sudden pulmonary embolism. He left behind his wife and four-month-old son.

The posters, designed by Jeff Wood of Drowning Creek Studios, are individually numbered and signed by the artist in addition to bearing the signatures of each member of the band.

Umphrey’s McGee had this to say about the auctions and their lost friend: "We are always happy to do what we can, when we can. With a little help from our fans and friends, today we have an opportunity to make a difference in one child's life. That makes today a success. "
