About
Electric 5 is an electric rock string quintet that performs unique and captivating choreographed string renditions of some of the greatest rock and pop hits of all time. Unlike most groups in this genre, Electric 5 uses highly innovative arrangements and masterful musicianship to recreate the beauty and magic of every song they cover without the use of back-up tracks. Electric 5 also uses 2 cellos instead of the traditional 1 for added depth, texture and richness. Their genre defying act includes vocals, and is capped by the virtuosic electric violin wah-wah pedal improv solos of the groups founder Adia - winner of the 2014 Judges Selection for the Jimi Hendrix Experience Tour, and the 2013 Steve Vai Best In Shred competition. Each a gifted soloist in her own right, these five superb musicians are all classically trained with advanced degrees from prestigious Music Schools, and have played for some of the Nation's leading orchestras, including Chicago Sinfonietta, Illinois Philharmonic, Colorado Symphony, Fort Wayne Philharmonic and Illinois Symphony. The Ladies eventually went beyond the conventions and constraints of classical music to become some of Chicago’s most versatile and accomplished string performers, having played alongside music legends like Sarah McLachlan, Yo-Yo Ma, Midori, Josh Groban, Sarah Chang, Patti LaBelle, Lupe Fiasco and Itzhak Perlman.
Though new to booklive, Electric 5 has been performing in the Chicago area and across the US for the past two and a half years and just performed on a main stage at Milwaukee’s Summerfest - the World’s largest music festival. They specialize in performing at private events including corporate parties, weddings (including ceremony, cocktail hour and dinner), galas, conferences, cocktail parties, etc. Electric 5’ stunning visual and musical show will highlight any event, and can be custom tailored to fit your special occasion. Whether they are the featured entertainment at your event, or are called on to brilliantly punctuate its opening and closing, Electric 5 will add a level of excitement and sophistication that has to be seen to be believed. Electric 5’ dynamic and genre defying act will simply amaze you and your guests!
