A group of Los Angeles-based studio musicians, the Vitamin String Quartet have carved out a unique niche for themselves, recording new releases of songs by well-known rock, pop, and country artists, arranged for a small string ensemble. VSQ have release well over 100 albums, most of which feature the songs of a single artist (and in some cases interpret a single album in full), though the group has also released thematic collections based on a particular mood, style, or genre.
