Vitamin String Quartet on #MIOSM

About six months ago, I was searching for instrumental versions of pop/rock music and stumbled upon a group called the Vitamin String Quartet. I thought they only had a few songs, but I later discovered they have released over 100 albums in only 17 years. Most recently, they released Geek Wedding Collection in March 2015.

Instrumentalists in Vitamin String Quartet tend to rotate, but current members include Chris Woods (Violin), Crystal Alforque (Violin), Zach Dellinger (Viola), and Derek Stein (Cello). Stein is also responsible for much of the arranging of the tributes the group does.

Some of my favorites from their albums include their tribute to the Beatles' "Imagine", their tribute to Bon Jovi's "Lay Your Hands on Me", their tribute to U2's "Beautiful Day", their tribute to Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child O Mine", their tribute to Led Zeppelin's "The Immigrant Song", and their tribute to Nirvana's "All Apologies".

You can find all of their albums on Amazon.
