The String Cheese Incident
Comment:
Boulder, CO, jam gods the String Cheese Incident started out playing in return for ski passes, but evolved into a band capable a transmitting their vibe a long way beyond Colorado's snow-dusted slopes. Sometimes they sound like a bunch of backwoods firebrands riffing on musical roots with boundless skill and a healthy respect for bluegrass tradition; other times they boldly explore uncharted sonic territory, weaving in disparate elements (including calypso, reggae, and jazz) as if possessed by an unpredictably mischievous spirit: hence the dark atmospherics of "Sirens" (with its almost surreal punctuation of sun-kissed reggae), side-by-side with the mountain harmonies of "Restless Wind." Despite threatening to splinter in 2007 (when founding member Bill Nershi announced his intention to follow other avenues), the band never really went away, reuniting for a series of "incidents" in 2010.
