influenced by bluegrass sounds, as well as forays into rock, calypso, country, funk, jazz, Latin, reggae, andoccasional psychedelia.
The String Cheese Incident (often abbreviated to SCI) has been described as a democratic ensemble ratherthan a band, since all of
the members contribute their own original compositions to the group's burgeoning library and share vocalduties on a number of
cover versions as well as their own songs. If a de facto leader had to be named, such a title would probably fallupon Nershi, who is
responsible for the bulk of the group's original song library. Bill Nershi left SCI after their final tour during thesummer of 2007, they
have since disbanded completely.-Wikipedia « hide |
