The String Cheese Incident have unveiled “County Road Blues” the second bonus track to be released from the band’s most recent album Lend Me A Hand (2023). “County Road Blues” follows “Windy Mountain” which was released last month.
Bill Nershi shares about the track:
In Bluegrass, the guitar players call these ‘floaties.’ You pick the notes and let the open strings ring out. When I bring bluegrass to the band it usually morphs into other styles and takes on a character all its own.
Lend Me A Hand, is the band’s 8th studio album and is a “reflection on love, loss and resilience,” and emerged as SCI coped with the sudden death of their close friend Jesse Aratow (a member of their management team for most of the band’s history). The band joined forces with Brad Cook (Bon Iver, Hiss Golden Messenger, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Waxahatchee), a Producer whose helped shape the album’s “rootsy simplicity.”
Known for an immersive live show, the Colorado-bred six-piece tackles everything from Bluegrass to Dubstep to Psychedelia.
SCI will kick off 2024 with their first live incident on April 6 at Texas Eclipse and will tour across the country making stops at some of the best amphitheaters nationwide including their annual three-night stand at Colorado’s iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
