The String Cheese Incident has shared “Hi Ho No Show”, the latest studio recording to come out of the SCI Sound Lab. This new single release arrives on the heels of the band announcing support for its three-night Fansgiving run over Thanksgiving weekend at Denver, CO’s Mission Ballroom.
While this occasion marks the first studio recording of the track, the song has been in the band’s live rotation dating back to 2016. Coming in with a 6:29 runtime, “Hi Ho No Show” opens with a high-energy explosion of fiddle, drums, and acoustic guitar that fully epitomizes the classic sound of The String Cheese Incident.

The all-instrumental track eventually descends into full-on dance territory as Michael Kang‘s fiddle gives way to Kyle Hollingsworth‘s synthesizer and Jason Hann‘s percussive instincts elevate prominently atop the mix. This segment injects a psychedelic twist before Kang’s fiddle returns to bring the song home with the more traditional Celtic and Americana sounds.
“We are super excited to be releasing a new track from the Lab. This one has been in the live rotation for a little bit now, but it’s always fun to dig a bit deeper with a studio release,” said Hollingsworth in a press release. “Influenced by Afro Celt Sound System, this song has tinges of Celtic and Americana roots. I love the flow of this one, it has nice sonic landscapes plus a great groove!!”
