String Cheese Incident.
The String Cheese Incident, one of the bands involved in the jam movement of the mid-to-late 1990s, formed in Boulder, Colorado in
1993. The band is composed of Michael Kang (acoustic/electric mandolin, electric guitar, and violin), Michael Travis (drums and
percussion), Bill Nershi (acoustic guitar, lap steel guitar, and electric slide guitar), Kyle Hollingsworth (piano, organ, Rhodes, and
accordion), and Keith Moseley (bass guitar), and, in 2006, Jason Hann, an auxiliary percussionist.
Their music is strongly influenced by bluegrass sounds, as well as forays into rock, calypso, country, funk, jazz, Latin, reggae, and
occasional psychedelia. The 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 vocal
duties 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 fall
upon Nershi, who is responsible for the bulk of the group's original song library. Bill Nershi left SCI after their final tour during the
summer of 2007, they have since disbanded completely.
