The Imperial March from Star Wars string quartet, performed live by Artistrings, a modern string quartet in Chicago that specializes in pop and rock music. This is one of our favorite Star Wars string covers for our Chicago wedding band musicians, with a string quartet arrangement written by our talented violist, Benton Wedge! If you’re a fan of Star Wars and you want to make a statement walking down the aisle, consider this. We actually wrote this one for a little ring bearer who walked down the aisle in his Darth Vader mask and cape and could not have been more excited about his contribution to the big day. Love it!

Happy Day, everyone! This is our favorite Ben Folds string cover, with a string quartet arrangement and sheet music written by our talented violist, Benton Wedge! If you’re a fan of modern pop music and wedding love songs, this is an absolutely beautiful song for walking down the aisle, prelude music as your guests are being seated, or the first dance. Imagine floating down the aisle to The Luckiest for your wedding processional music. Our Chicago wedding band and Artistrings string quartet are partial to this song, as it’s a perfect wedding song and an exceptional choice for wedding music.
So, we’re back this week with a one-hour version of Wellerman sea shanty for string quartet. This TikTok tok sea shanty craze started by Nathan Evans has been a whole lot of fun, and the Artistrings players from our Chicago wedding band made this long version video for those who want to join us and play (or sing) along. Two violins, viola, cello, and bass is the instrumentation for this all string version of Wellerman. Grab some tea, come in from the snow and join us. The fire is on and it’s cozy in here!
And just like that, the sea shanty craze has caught our hearts by surprise, and yes, we’re smitten. Grab something to drink (tea….or rum, perhaps?) and sing along.
Wellerman is the sea shanty that’s going viral on Tik Tok right now from the most fabulous Nathan Evans! We’ve got a snowstorm here in Chicago today, so we thought we’d jump in on the fun of The Wellerman sea shanty craze. Nathan Evans’ Tik Tok video has inspired so many awesome Wellerman sea shanty remix videos, and we thought we’d contribute an all string version to the mix. If you’re looking for a new version of Wellerman sea shanty violin, give this a listen. We had a lot of fun with this string quartet cover of what’s become the most famous sea shanty, and hope that you enjoy it!
Tangerine for solo jazz cello, performed by cellist Matthew Agnew. This sweet solo cello improv is sure to bring a smile! We’ll soon be able to have small micro weddings and mini weddings again, including solo and duo musicians from our Chicago wedding band, and solo cello is an excellent choice for these small wedding celebrations!
Starting as relaxing cello music, the peaceful cello music shifts to a pizzicato bossa nova in this cello jazz version of Tangerine. For cello pop covers, cello music, micro wedding music, and more solo cello videos like this, please subscribe to our YouTube channel to be the first to see our weekly videos!
