Last night, The String Cheese Incident played their second of four total performances slated for Michigan’s Electric Forest this year, continuing the festival’s first weekend with a three-set offering that featured a parade of guests from the weekend’s lineup including Eric Krasno and Kamasi Washington.

After a first set of just the band themselves, set number two kicked off with three straight songs featuring Krasno, including a cover of the Grateful Dead’s “Sugaree.” The guests continued with Washington and Snarky Puppy’s Robert Searight for a seamless run of “Impressions” with “Soul Shakedown Party” and “Zombie” sandwiched in between.

More fellow festival performers joined the sit-in party as Matisyahu and Liquid Stranger, a.k.a. Martin Stääf, came on stage for a jam, followed by a “Valley of the Jig” featuring The Floozies’ Matt Hill. Brazilian Girls then joined in for their own “Pussy Pussy Pussy Marijuana.”

The band had one more surprise in store, bringing out Break Science’s Borahm Lee for “Freedom Jazz Dance” near the beginning of the third and final set, which closed out the performance with a cover of Bob Marley’s “Could You Be Loved.”

See the night’s setlist below as it appears in our Box Scores section. String Cheese will return to the Electric Forest stage next weekend for two more performances, and the festival continues today with music from My Morning Jacket, The Floozies, The Motet, TAUK, Bassnectar and more.
