The ladies sounded great! Collectively they have résumé's that are a mile long, having played both in the classical and mainstream music world.
Then it was off to the races with 'Kashmir' from Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd's 'Comfortably Numb' and a tune from ELO. After doing a pre-show VIP session, the band took the stage as the show started with a rendition of 'The Star Spangled Banner'.
The spacious club was full with an open floor up front for those that wanted to get close. Violin, five-string viola, and cello round out the quartet who is backed by a live band of guitar, bass, and drums. The quartet is led by Nina DiGregorio (violin and arranger). Having been a fan of Vanessa Mae and Bond (who I got to see live back in 2004) - two artists that bridged the classical world with the pop/dance world - I was looking forward to the show.įemmes Of Rock is based out of Las Vegas, NV. After taking the ferry over to Clearwater Casino Resort the week before, I found myself doing the exact same thing only this time to cover Femmes Of Rock - an electric string quartet that plays classic rock songs.
