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.

Artistrings is back this week with a string quartet cover of Don’t Start Now (Dua Lipa). We’ve been wanting to record this one since February! Finally made it happen.

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.

Hey everyone! Meet the Sarlas Gospel Singers! These talented vocalists create exciting praise music for wedding ceremonies and celebrations. We recorded this back in February, just before that big COVID asteroid fell from the sky. The room was full of happiness and joy, as you can easily see how much these gospel vocalists absolutely love singing together. And those harmonies — OMG goosebumps all around.
If you’re daydreaming about your 2022 wedding (and it’s a perfect time to do that, BTW), start thinking about the things you can do to personalize your celebration. Imagine the impact of having a vocal ensemble like this one sing the music as you walk down the aisle (processional). Or, music as you exit the ceremony (recessional). Then, imagine what it would be like if these vocalists were randomly mixed in with your guests, and did a surprise pop up at the end of the ceremony, coming together to sing and catapult your celebration into cocktail hour. Lots of possibilities here! Goosebumps guaranteed.

Praise Him – Joe Douglas & Spirit of Praise Oh Happy Day – Edwin Hawkins Power Belongs To God – Hezekiah Walker More Than Anything – Lamar Campbell
Everlong Cover Acoustic Rock String Quartet, with an absolutely KILLER arrangement from Artistrings. This Foo Fighters tune is a favorite of many, and is unparalleled in the indie and alternative music world. We arranged as a special request for a wedding ceremony, and our couple actually chose it as music for walking down the aisle. Although it’s a lot faster than we’d normally recommend for processional, it worked perfectly for this couple as they walked down the aisle. Bonus: it works really well for a wedding ceremony recessional, the music for walking out after the ceremony is finished! This Indie tune has become a favorite with our Chicago string quartet.
