Artist The String Cheese Incident

After 18-plus years as a band and a half-baked breakup, the String Cheese Incident (affectionately known as SCI) has been all over the place, geographically and musically speaking. The quartet has delivered its well-worn take on the jam band aesthetic playing everywhere from Colorado haunts in Denver, Boulder, Vail, and Morrison’s Red Rocks, to headlining at the Rothbury Festival, Austin City Limits, and Bonnaroo. These days, leaders Bill Nershi and Michael Kang keep “reuniting” the band to play more live shows, documenting the spectacle of its performances on the band’s last, informal release, 2010’s Rhythm Of The Road: Vol. 1—Incident In Atlanta. This go-around, the Roots Run Deep 2011 tour, is the band’s first semi-sustained tour in four years.
