The B List: 10 Touring Jambands That Didn’t Make It Through the ’00s

The ’00s haven’t been kind to the jamband genre as many bands who started the decade on the road don’t tour anymore. As we near the end of the decade, we wanted to put together a list of these groups. Sure, a few of these bands play shows occasionally for their loyal fans, but they haven’t hit the road for an extended trip recently.

Without further ado, here’s our list…

1. String Cheese Incident

The String Cheese Incident called it quits in 2007 and ended their touring career with four shows at Red Rocks. The band got back together to appear at Rothbury in July and rumor has it they will hit the road for more shows.

2. Ominous Seapods
