Instrumental variation and solos add a unique dimension to each performance, creating an immersive and dynamic musical experience. Our Pop String Ensemble excels at gauging your crowd's vibe and skillfully guiding the energy at your event, ensuring a dynamic and unforgettable experience for everyone involved.

Crafting the Ideal Ensemble:

Pop Strings includes the violin as the lead melody instrument plus a chordal instrument. When it comes to choosing between keyboard and acoustic guitar, there isn’t a right or wrong decision to be made, it comes down to preference. Neither instrument limits the repertoire we are able to play, it’s more about the sound. If you love John Legend, Billy Joel, Norah Jones and Ray Charles go for keys. If John Mayer, Ed Sheeran, Tom Petty, and Dave Matthews are more your thing then guitar is the way to go.

Weather Watch: 

When it comes to the weather, we've got your event covered! Direct sun can be a bit tricky for our players – they need good shade to keep their instruments in top-notch condition in temperatures above 80 degrees. If shade is a bit elusive, let’s talk and see what we can figure out to ensure both our musicians and their instruments stay in great shape!

Now, let's talk about precipitation – the arch-nemesis of delicate instruments. We always recommend having a rain contingency plan in place. Be sure to speak with your venue coordinator to make sure you’re prepared for anything!
