Our Bio:

On October 1st, 2009, Jacob Head decided to turn the idea of having his own music group into a reality. Choosing Kate Tyree, Tom Coovert and Lindsey (Addison) Becker as the original members in the fall of his freshman year at the U of L School of Music, the quartet performed at many venues around downtown Louisville such as the Muhammad Ali Center and the KY Center for the Performing Arts. The quartet also hosted a "Strings of the Season" concert at Life Bridge Christian Church, an event that has become an annual Christmas tradition. With welcoming James Stinnett and Geoff Britton on board in early 2011, the quartet performed its first "pops" music concert and released its first Christmas album: "A Christmas Collection," which was received very well. In mid 2012, James shared his decision to join the United States Navy, moving with his wife Brittney up to Groton, Connecticut, where he is now stationed. The quartet was then able to welcome Kate Tyree back into the group for the remainder of the 2012 season, playing six weddings in five different towns and performing at more Christmas events. The quartet has also performed at the Olmstead, the Galt House, the Frazier Arts Historical Museum, the 21c hotel, the Owl Creek Country Club, the University of Louisville Medical School, Treyton Oak Towers, the Trinity World Outreach Center, the Friendship House for the elderly, and has been very influential in their collaboration with Fern Creek-Highview United Ministries, performing at events such as the annual "Pennies From Heaven" Gala in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
The group is available for any events such as weddings, dinners, socials, meetings, fund-raisers, or any event that could use us! Jacob is also open to arranging nearly anything for the quartet, as nearly all of what we play are arrangements that he has put together!
