Everlong Cover Acoustic Rock String Quartet Killer Arrangement!

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.
