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!
A new one from Artistrings this week with a string quartet cover of Fireflies (Owl City), and the perfect little visitor that showed up a few nights ago during the mini snow fall. He tapped on our window so we went to see what was going on, and there he was. How cute is this little baby owl?! We’re naming him either Hootie or Keith (Moon), but that’s still up for discussion. This Fireflies string cover is a favorite with all of our Chicago wedding band couples, and it hits all of the bases: string pop, modern pop, and classical pop, with exciting string covers of popular songs.
The Artistrings acoustic pop string quartet is a traditional string quartet made up of four instrumentalists: 2 violins, viola, and cello. One track per instrument, and zero overdubs/stacks.

The string musicians from our Chicago wedding band had a (virtual) lot of fun recording this string pop and string quartet cover of All I Want For Christmas Is You (Mariah Carey). Holiday string quartet covers and string covers of Christmas songs are perfect for a cozy night at home at this time of year, while enjoying Christmas lights and even more Christmas music and holiday music.
Christmas music instrumental creates such a warm background for family time and gift wrapping. Mariah Carey’s iconic Christmas song is performed here in classical pop style, with the Artistrings string quartet.
