How Can We Miss You If Ya Don’t Go Away?

String Cheese Incident is quickly becoming the Sugar Ray Leonard of the jamband world. We’re pretty sure the band announced its retirement some time between the fall of the Berlin Wall and end of the global Y2K freakout fakeout. Yet here we are, one quarter through the Year of Our Lord 2007, and dates continue to emerge from the Madison House corporate headquarters. Here’s the latest from the SCI camp:

We’ve gotta hand it to SCI for a job well done booking an undercard that’s strong to quite strong. It’ll take an awful lot to get people to converge on Salem, Missouri for the String Cheese Coventry, but we’re guessing Greyboy, JJ & MOFRO, Los Lobos, The Wailers and Yonder Mountain will help draw a sizeable crowd.

Catch ’em before they go (for real): SCI also hits Bonnaroo, three nights at the Beacon, the Greek, and somewhere in Oregon before Sam Malone sells the bar and the band hangs it up during a three-night stand at Red Rocks. That is, presumably, until they replace Billy Nershi and get back out on the road.
