String Cheese Incident

No, the String Cheese Incident isn't the title of a viral video of some really cute toddler playing with cheese, it's a band that formed more than 20 years ago. Tonight, the men are back to perform songs from Song In My Head, their first studio album in nine years. They used much of their live material as inspiration to get back into the studio after so many years on tour. Concert starts at 8 p.m.
