The String Cheese Incident

In the vibrant tapestry of The String Cheese Incident's career, the live recording of "Sweet Melinda" from August 2, 2013, at Horning's Hideout showcases a band well-versed in their craft. Just before this performance, they released the studio album "A Song for Jerry" in 2012, paying tribute to the legendary Jerry Garcia. The band was known for seamlessly blending genres, and this live recording reflects their improvisational spirit and deep connection with the audience. Interestingly, the track features Steve Kimock, a noted guitarist, adding a rich layer to their signature sound. By the time the live version arrived on their 2020 compilation album "On the Road: Horning's Hideout - 8/2/13", fans were treated to a moment that encapsulated both their past reverence and present creativity.
