On Saturday night, The String Cheese Incident wrapped their stay at Rothbury, MI’s Electric Forest with their annual Shebang performance. The annual Forest party featured a plethora of added production elements including fireworks, dancers onstage, aerialists, and more.

The String Cheese Incident opened up their first set with “Colliding” before offering up “Get To You”, a song the band recently released from their SCI Sound Lab.  SCI moved forward with “Joyful Sound”, which went deep into a “Rothbury Jam” as the band weaved out of the song’s main theme. The jam ultimately landed into “One Step Closer”, highlighted by some strong vocal work out of Bill Nershi’s corner. Kyle Hollingsworth and Michael Kang tossed some quick-witted solos before the band took a chance to catch their breaths and continued on with another newer tune, “Into The Blue”. Following an improv-heavy “Big Shoes”, the band closed out their first frame with “Let’s Go Outside”, which featured rap and vocals from the band’s longtime friend Lynx.

Following a brief setbreak, The String Cheese Incident returned to open up their second set with a debut cover of The Who‘s “Baba O’Riley”, with Hollingsworth taking the vocal lead. “Baba “O’Riley” smoothly coasted into “Valley Of The Jig”, allowing Kang to dazzle the crowd with some red-hot fiddle licks. The band moved forward with a cover of Pink Floyd‘s “Shine On You Crazy Diamond”, played for the first time since July 14th, 2006. Following “Believe”, the band offered up “Jellyfish”, as Jellyfish objects and totems bobbed about the crowd. SCI brought their two-set Shebang to a close with a paring of “The Big Reveal” into “Beautiful”.
