Waiting for Another Incident

For those of you who are unaware of the String Cheese Incident, it is time to wake up! It will be our little secret. With an amazing blend of a variety of genres which include jazz, rock, and bluegrass, to name a few, String Cheese has emerged as an elite band in the jam band scene. With the capabilities to give you a soothing mellow sound, or play into an intergalactic type of jam complete with an unmatched atmosphere with a variety of performers throughout the venue. Long story short: they will be sure to satisfy your artistic needs.

After touring for over 10 years, String Cheese decided to take a small break from touring. But with the allure of the great Rothbury Music Festival in Rothbury, Michigan, the members of the band could not restrain themselves from getting back together for a show on July 3rd, 2009. As images from the show (displayed above, as well as multiple songs on the playlist) highlight, they have an amazing production which requires enormous amounts of time and energy to display one of the greatest live shows available today. With video, pictures, and 30,000 people in attendance as witnesses, String Cheese ripped into the J.J. Ranch for over 4 hours and created a setting of love and chaos of epic proportion. With dozens of great bands playing the festival, String Cheese was for most the highlight of the 4 days of music that many will not soon forget.


The culture that has been created over the years from countless touring creates a friendly, fun-loving and unique environment different to other touring bands. Due to the large selection of songs in their library, String Cheese is able to create a different show each night they perform which attracts many from around the country to follow them wherever they go (myself included). Besides that, you never know what type of show they have in store from a large production level; they may have a complete fire show with performers, or dancers hanging 20 feet over the stage draped in white cloth (as they did at Rothbury).

There will be much more to say about these guys as the year progresses due to the fact that they plan on touring in the summer and fall of 2010. Tour dates have not been posted, but stayed tuned for those dates and get ready for a great year in 2010!
