Description
Dallas String Quartet, also referred to as DSQ or DSQ Electric, is a #2 Billboard charting American Classical Crossover ensemble. A fusion of contemporary classical and pop music, DSQ is referred to as ‘Bach meets Bon Jovi’ and is compared to artists like Lindsey Stirling, Vitamin String Quartet, Brooklyn Duo and 2Cellos. They use both traditional and electric strings performing as a six-piece band with drums and guitar. The group is known for their eclectic renditions of everything from Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ to Taylor Swift’s ‘Anti-Hero’ to their collaboration, ‘You Are the Reason,’ with the Piano Guys. DSQ has performed for Presidents Obama and Bush, with superstars like Ed Sheeran, Luke Combs and Ashley McBryde, at the Academy of Country Music Awards, and their cover of Katy Perry’s ‘Firework’ was featured on the most recent season of American Idol. In 2021, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton sought out DSQ as the entertainment for their wedding and in October 2022, their album ‘Love Always’ debuted at #2 on the Billboard Chart. DSQ is also featured on the 2023 GRAMMY Award-nominated album, ‘The Passenger’ by Cheryl B. Engelhardt. Photo: Dallas String Quartet.
