Watch Jennifer Hartswick & Jeff Arevalo Join String Cheese Incident For Funky Cover At Northlands

The String Cheese Incident headlined Saturday’s lineup at the second annual Northlands Music and Arts Festival, which was held at Cheshire Fairgrounds in Swanzey, New Hampshire. Trey Anastasio Band trumpeter/vocalist Jennifer Hartswick and Goose percussionist Jeff Arevalo joined SCI for a cover of The Jacksons’ classic “Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground).”

Hartswick, who was on-site to perform with The Nth Power and the Super Sonic Shorties ensemble, was the first of The String Cheese Incident’s guests. JHa came onstage with her trumpet to augment a first-set closing performance of SCI’s “Rosie.”

SCI brought Hartswick back out at the start of Saturday’s second set, this time bringing along Arevalo who was on-site to perform with the Goose off-shoot Orebolo. The second set started with the guests accompanying The String Cheese Incident on a funky cover of “Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground).” SCI last played “Shake Your Body” in 2018 and had only covered the 1978 hit a few times prior to that.
