Umbra - Umbra (1971-72 us,prog psych rock)

Umbra was founded in 1969 and continued to solidify into 1970. Steve describes Umbra as “a progressive, psychedelic, jam group”. I had the privilege of listening to the band’s “garage” recordings from that period and have to say this was a very diverse and talented ensemble. Steve recalled that the tracks were put down on a 4 track and a 2 track recorder and recorded at a band member’s home.

Most of the band members were from local Denver area high schools with the exception of Nick Melliadis who came from New York. Steve attended South High School which wasn’t a good fit for him back then. “I didn’t care much for high school so I dropped out to pursue my music.” It was a decision that worked very well for Steve. He did achieve his GED, but more importantly acquired a rich and deep education in music with his adventures from Umbra up to the present day.

The name “Umbra” was selected by the band while perusing the dictionary – an exercise common with bands back then (and maybe even now). “Umbra translates to “shadow on moon”, stated Steve. “We wanted a name that was short, mysterious, easy to remember, and sounded cool.”

Some on-line Umbra band histories state that the group was a ‘weekend band’. Faulkner corrects this, “The truth is, we were a full-time band. We did a lot of four and five night gigs locally and on the road.” Steve continues, “We did a ton of road work. We had a very good regional reputation.” Umbra appeared regularly in Colorado, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas as well as a few more States.
