Colorado jam band The String Cheese Incident creates feel-good music meant to make us dance it out, drift away, connect with community, and take a small step toward something bigger. For three decades, SCI’s been blending original compositions of bluegrass, psychedelia, rock, reggae, electronica, country, calypso, and Latin rhythms. SCI is a good time, and we can always use a little more of that where we can get it.
- The String Cheese Incident inadvertently created the grassroots band development model in the 1990s. They were the first jam band to use the internet for a fans-and-community-first approach to the business of music. This model is now used by hundreds of bands around the world.
- There are many theories about how The String Cheese Incident got its name, but only the original members of SCI know the real story. And they aren’t telling.
- More than a jam band, The String Cheese Incident has been recognized for their commitment to musical creativity and integrity, their community spirit, and philanthropic endeavors.
