The String Cheese Incident has been recognized for\nits comm itment to musical creativity and integrity\, for its community\nspirit\, p hilanthropic endeavors\, and for its innovative approach to\nthe business of music. When The String Cheese Incident’s growth\nfirst started gainin g momentum in the 1990s\, as the Internet was just\nbeginning to take hold and the major-label business model was failing\,\nthe band decided to mak e music on their own terms. Since then\, The\nString Cheese Incident has g one on to carve out a completely unique\napproach to the business of music \; they are truly pioneers of a new\nway of “making a band.” With the Internet as their tool\, SCI was\namong the first artists to disseminate i nformation online\, such as\ntour dates\, release information\, and other news\, to their growing fan\nbase. Rather than doing business on such term s as “the bottom\nline\,” SCI put their music and their fans first\, o pening companies\nof their own\, including a ticketing company\, a merchan dise company and\na fan travel agency\, to best serve their community. The band’s\nrecord label\, SCI Fidelity Records\, has always operated under the same\nideals. Even early on\, SCI Fidelity embraced downloadable musi c and\nfile sharing\, delivering SCI’s “On The Road” series\, where every\nshow the band plays is made available for download on the Internet. \nWhether they realized it at the time or not\, The String Cheese\nInciden t was inventing grassroots band development. Today\, literally\nhundreds o f bands are using some version of this same approach to\nbuild their brand . The String Cheese Incident’s commitment goes well\nbeyond their immedi ate community\, and even beyond the music community\nas a whole. Early on\ , the band took a serious interest in giving back\nto the communities that they visited\, and they were among the first\nperformers to encourage “ Green” shows and tours. SCI’s support\nhas helped give rise to such no t-for-profit organizations as Conscious\nAlliance and HeadCount. All the w hile\, The String Cheese Incident has\nstayed committed to music as a crea tive endeavor\, not just in their\nrecordings but also in their live perfo rmances. The list of SCI’s\nspecial guests and collaborators is long and diverse. Their annual\nevents\, such as Electric Forest and Hulaween\, an d holiday shows\, such\nas New Year’s Eve\, have helped redefine the con cert experience and\nhave garnered the band a reputation as live music vib e innovators.\nVenue: Freeman Arts Pavilion.
