Dallas String Quartet (DSQ) - referred to as 'Bach meets Bon Jovi' - recently released their debut full-length holiday album, A Very Merry Christmas with Dallas String Quartet. This is the group’s first-ever full-length holiday album.
I had a chance to review this holiday album, which features many Christmas favorites with a modern interpretation. It's a fresh new sound that handles the upbeat season of Christmas with charm and fun arrangements.
As a fusion of contemporary classical and pop, DSQ uses traditional and electric strings. This not-quite-quartet is actually a sextet that includes accompaniment by drums and guitar.
DSQ has over 30 million streams on Spotify, more than 4 million views on YouTube and receives over 1 million streams per week from their dedicated following on Pandora.
Dallas String Quartet has performed for Presidents Obama and Bush, the College Football Playoffs, NBA, and NFL organizations. They've sold out concert venues like the House of Blues and symphony halls and have played alongside Josh Groban, Chicago, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. You’ll find the group's music featured by ESPN, A&E, The Wall Street Journal and prominent Spotify playlists such as Pop Goes Classical and Sinfonía Hipster.
