The String Cheese Incident

A-peeling acoustics

Pulling into town this week, veterans of the jam band scene The String Cheese Incident take the stage at Ting Pavilion. For the past 30 years, the six-piece group from Colorado has been blending musical genres and blowing minds around the world. Now, SCI brings their legendary live-show experience to C’ville with a little twist. While their overall oeuvre can be called kaleidoscopic, their latest studio album tamps down the mashup aesthetic and turns up the notes of folk-rock. Get ready to hear brand new arrangements and jacked-up jams as the band expands and transforms their newest studio songs into on-stage standards.

Thursday 5/16. $54–69, 7pm. Ting Pavilion, 700 E. Main St., Downtown Mall. tingpavilion.com
