NYE with String Cheese Incident – Will Sheehan

This year I want to give everyone a ticket to an incredibly memorable night and maybe the best New Years Eve option there is in Colorado. The Colorado native band known as The String Cheese Incident will once again host their annual New Years Eve blowout at The First Bank Center in Broomfield. Whether you are a fan of their feel good jam band style or not, the work they put into producing a visual and audio spectacle to bring in the new year is basically unmatched to any other plans you already had for the 31st.
