The Band, known as Colorado’s most beloved jam band, draws its inspiration not solely from Colorado’s freewheeling lifestyle but from nature itself – particularly bright-blue skies over 14,000-foot mountains, rushing rivers and vast deserts. Their love for nature brought together this group long before picking up any instruments together and performing.
Therefore, the String Cheese Incident’s sound is inextricably linked with Colorado’s natural beauty. Inspired by Colorado’ breathtaking mountains, sweeping rivers, vast deserts and lush forests that inspire them, their music captures this sense of freedom perfectly.
