What to expect
For our electric style, we using backing tracks, so we have a "big" band sound but with a smaller setup and the ultimate volume control! Our string covers of popular songs make for perfect background music during cocktails or dinner events. Because of our versatility, our electric style is perfect for all types of events. Our music repertoire aims to please all age groups - there is something for everyone! From oldies, hard rock, and classic rock, to disco, country and modern pop songs, we have upbeat, relaxed, romantic, and peppy music to fit your musical needs.
We also offer classical music on our acoustic instruments. Book our string trio for a traditional/classical feel, with the option to add piano, trumpet or use us to accompany a vocalist of your choice!
About
Established in 2013, Electria has been playing weddings and corporate events all over Kentucky, Cincinnati, Indiana, and out of state to perform for corporate events.
We have an ever-growing music list and we particularly specialize in popular music on our electric instruments. Performing as an electric trio accompanied by backtracks, our sound is robust and sounds more true to the original song that we're covering. We offer a "big" band sound but with a small setup and volume control! No vocalist means guests can also enjoy our music in the background, but our engaging performance also means that we're fun to watch as well if guests choose.
Since we're all classically trained, we continue to perform acoustic and classical music as well. Our most popular package choice is our Fusion package which is our acoustic string trio for the ceremony and our electric style trio for cocktail hour!
Additional booking notes
We don't require a stage, but it can be a nice touch for certain events. We need an area that is at least 10 feet wide by 6 feet deep. We adjust to the the space we're given, but not looking crammed is more comfortable for us and more aesthetically pleasing for guests as well. We do provide our own sound equipment, however, for large event spaces that hold 500 people or more, we suggest having us plug into in-house audio, or letting an A/V company do our sound for you. Adequate lighting is preferred, however we do supply our own stand lights as well, so we can perform in even dimly lit areas.

There are other groups which are similar to us, including 2Cellos, Simply Three, Lindsey Sterling, Piano Guys, The Dallas String Quartet, Amadeus String Quartet, and Bond String Quartet.
We are classically trained but we love playing modern music covers on our traditionally classical instruments! It's a fun twist to the norm and our string renditions bring a new light to popular songs.
