The String Cheese Incident
The String Cheese Incident performs 'Close Your Eyes' with Taz Niederauer
In April 2018, The String Cheese Incident captured a memorable moment at the Sweetwater 420 Fest held in Atlanta's Centennial Olympic Park. Just prior to this performance, the band had released their first studio album in nearly a decade, 'Believe,' in 2016. This was a significant period as they were reconnecting with their fanbase after a hiatus. Featuring guest artist Taz Niederauer on 'Close Your Eyes,' this performance showcased their signature blend of jam band spontaneity with energetic grooves. The vibrant atmosphere of the festival, marked by cannabis culture, added an extra layer of excitement to their set. This live recording not only illustrates the band’s live prowess but also highlights their ability to evolve while remaining deeply rooted in the improvisational spirit that first defined them.
