Crested Butte CO, United States (1993 – present)

The String Cheese Incident (SCI) are a jam band from the United States. They formed in Crested Butte, Colorado in 1993, originally playing local gigs at ski resorts in exchange for free lift tickets.

Their music is strongly influenced by bluegrass sounds, as well as forays into rock, funk, jazz, Latin, reggae, and occasional psychedelia. A fusion of these genres can be heard in most of their songs as well as covers.

The String Cheese Incident has been described as a democratic ensemble rather than a band, since all of the members contribute their own original compositions to the group’s burgeoning library and share the vocal burden on a number of cover versions as well as their own songs. If a de facto leader had to be named, such a title would probably fall upon Nershi, who is responsible for the bulk of the group’s original song library.

I am curios about how your group started..The String Cheese Incident nae sounds interesting. Try joining the Rotrbury festival in Michigan. Some people are thinking of getting payday loans to head to Rothbury this year. Rothbury is an annual music festival in Rothbury, Michigan on the fourth of July. Rothbury 2009 looks like it is definitely gong to be worth the trip, but it is on the expensive side. You get tickets plus access to campgrounds for over $100 a person. The venue is a large open area, complete with swimming hole nearby and a diverse array of musical acts, just a few of which may be worth the price of admission. Some of this year's musicians are Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, and the Dead (living remnants of the Grateful Dead). It promises to be one heck of an event in <a rev="vote-for" href="http://personalmoneystore.com/moneyblog/2009/03/16/financial-plan-rothbury-music-festival/">Rothbury</a>; this year.
