Local Band Does OK is Umphrey's McGee's second studio album (fourth overall), and the first studio album to feature Jake Cinninger and Andy Farag. This album also marks the final appearance of original drummer Mike Mirro, who has since been replaced by the band's current drummer Kris Myers. The album contains extensive forays into progressive rock and large-scale composition. At the inaugural Bonnaroo Festival in the summer of 2002, the album sold more copies than any other album over the weekend.

This is the earliest available Umphrey's McGee album, as the band's three previous efforts are all out of print.
