THE STRING CHEESE INCIDENT IN CONCERT:
The String Cheese Incident may be America's quintessential jam band, effortlessly traversing genres and styles to create a truly sweeping live experience that incorporates elements of bluegrass, electronica, and psychedelia into their rock-based sound. Intuitively playing off each other, the band's talented roster of musicians improvise freely atop a full-throttle rhythm section that consistently brings fans to their feet for a dance in the aisles. With Song in My Head — their first studio album in nine years — due out in 2014, the band are sure to be sharper than ever on their tour dates in support of the release.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Named after a food fight that heavily featured cheese, the String Cheese Incident kicked off in Colorado in 1993, self-releasing their early bluegrass-influenced albums and building a regional following with their extended live shows. In 2001, the band debuted a more rock-oriented sound with third album Outside Inside, broadening their fanbase and touring extensively throughout the US. 2003's Untying the Not further expanded the band's repertoire of styles with its inclusion of electronic and trance elements, paving the way for the continued sonic development that has characterized their subsequent releases.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"The Cheese flowed smoothly from tune to tune, jamming effortlessly. As the sun started to set they cranked up the energy and the place was rocking. Dancing in the aisles abounded."
"These guys are extraordinarily talented performers and musicians, and the audience was the most fun, tolerant, and colorful group of people I've ever seen at a concert."
"Amazing musician's putting out amazing energy! Great blend of blue-grass style tunes that would repeatedly crescendo into amazing high energy jam sessions."

This was the place to be this year. The band sounded incredible, the atmosphere was captivating. C'mon, the skydivers during the day and then again with sparks at night set a new standard. Well done, Cheese. I thoroughly enjoyed all 3 nights, but Saturday was s p e c i a l !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sunday was "old school" sci. It rocked! Can't wait for next year!
great show - cant wait for more from sci. red rocks is amazing!
this was my first incident and only my 2nd and 3rd time at red rocks. the show was incredible, such high positive energy, beautiful light performances and sound features. every moment of the show was magic. sci got downnn with the funk and at times put me into a trance, an awakening of my soul. the music made me alive.
Cheese was absolutely amazing, jammed my face off. However, all the tarps in general admission are quite rediculous. In general admission we dont have reserved seats, yet, people take the initiative to save a ten foot squared space fr people who have not yet showed up for the event. Its kind of rediculous when everyone who has a GA ticket needs to fit in the GA area but yet, no one lets you stand anywhere. We sat in the reserved seats two nights in a row with red rocks staff trying to kick us out, where should we sit if no one alows us to sit anywhere?
Great show, well balanced and fun from beginning to end.
Amazing show put on by outstanding musicians! They blew me away and made the Rocks sound Magical! I loved it.. hope they come back!!
Clash of the piano whomping dirt stomping vibrant pSCIchedelic rock

Great show! Wish the show went on longer. Going tonight and thinking they're saving the best for last. Will Keller show up??
This was a fantastic event! This was my first Incident and will not be my last. Excellent songs played, including Black Clouds, Jellyfish, a ridiculous Johnny Cash and a jammy Roll Over. The parachute jumpers with smoke during the first set and fire during the second were a treat!
Lots of awesome jams, Black Clouds, Desert Dawn into Sychronicity (sp?), a good time was had by all ....
Great Tunes! Good Vibe, a couple of great covers Epic first Night of 3!
What a great scene. Party in the lot to chill music. Affordable. What more can you ask for?! Disabled seating fakers.... be careful what you wish for. You wreck it for those of us who need the seats. Karma... what goes around....
Most amazing show at both Red Rocks and from SCI that I have ever seen! They played some of their top songs and put on an incredible show for their hometown. Ready for two more nights!!
by far the best live show i've ever seen in my life...uhhhhhmazing!
