String Cheese Incident is one of the more popular bands of
the jam movement of the mid-to-late 1990s. They formed in Crested
Butte, Colorado in 1993, originally playing local gigs at ski resorts
in exchange for free lift tickets. String Cheese Incident's
music is strongly influenced by bluegrass sounds, as well as forays
into rock, funk, jazz, Latin, reggae and occasional psychedelia.

String Cheese Incident (often abbreviated to SCI) has been described as a democratic ensemble rather than a band, since all of the members contribute their own original compositions to the group's burgeoning library and share the vocal burden on a number of cover versions as well as their own songs.
The band organized a traveling festival tour across the United States in the summer of 2005, and was titled the Big Summer Classic. A range of similar artists took part in the festival, including New Monsoon, a promising new seven-person ensemble opened the tour, and acts such as Umphrey's McGee, Yonder Mountain String Band, Michael Franti & Spearhead and Keller Williams. The band avoided big venues, and played in medium-size outdoor venues, such as minor-league baseball parks.
String Cheese Incident continues to play to varying crowd sizes, and in 2005 returned to their roots: playing shows at the base of ski resorts, summer festivals, smaller venues and touring throughout the United States. They have announced more touring to take place in the summer of 2006, including performances with Bob Weir & Ratdog.
