About

Vitamin String Quartet (VSQ) is a musical group from Los Angeles, California that is widely known for its series of tribute albums to rock and pop acts. Their albums are released through Vitamin Records and primarily performed by a string quartet, though other instruments have been used. "Vitamin String Quartet is about applying rock n' roll attitude to classical technique," says Tom Tally, a violist and arranger who has performed on and produced over fifty Vitamin String Quartet albums. Their albums honor a wide variety of genres, including pop and rock, metal, techno, country, and rap, and a wide variety of groups, such as Queen, Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Lady Gaga, Iron Maiden, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Jimi Hendrix, Adele, The Smashing Pumpkins, Radiohead, System of a Down, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Muse, Slayer and many more. Their discography includes 261 albums. The group began in 1999 "as an experiment in transforming rock songs with classical instruments." It later expanded to include a variety of popular music. Their music is played 24 hours a day on FM broadcast station WWHK in Concord, NH.
