Cello Street Quartet

Cello Street Quartet is a group from San Francisco. Their music reminds me a lot of my first private cello teacher, Allen Sher. Allen was a cellist for the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra. When I was taking cello from him, he was playing with a string quartet at upscale department stores. Of course, to keep people interested, the quartet would play pop music. I enjoy the mix of pop music and classical aesthetic. It something that I don't hear or see enough of.

Dirty Cello - Cutie Pie

Rebecca Roudman is a cellist from San Francisco, who just seems to be having fun. This is her band, Dirty Cello, playing the original song, Cutie Pie. I just like it and it looks like so much fun to play. The style reminds me a lot of Mike Karoub.
