The String Cheese Incident, Night 2 at Red Rocks Amphitheater
The String Cheese Incident at Red Rocks - Night 2 Coverage - July 19, 2025
The String Cheese Incident returned to Red Rocks Amphitheater for night two of their 2025 run, delivering two full sets of genre-blending jams. Opening the show was Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country, warming up the iconic Morrison, Colorado venue with psychedelic-infused twang and high-energy grooves.
Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country
Daniel Donato’s Cosmic Country is where Nashville guitar chops meet Grateful Dead-level jam energy. Blending outlaw country, psychedelic rock, and a cosmic ethos, Donato and his band are quickly rising as one of the most exciting acts in the new-age jam and Americana scene. Expect extended solos, spacey breakdowns, and a sound that feels like Willie Nelson got abducted by aliens but in the best way possible.
The String Cheese Incident
A staple in the jam band scene since the ‘90s, The String Cheese Incident blends bluegrass, funk, psychedelia, and electronic influences into sprawling live performances known for their improvisational spirit. The Colorado-based group has built a loyal fanbase through decades of genre-defying shows, particularly at iconic venues like Red Rocks Amphitheater.
