Western Swing Band


This 6 piece group is sophisticated yet grounded in western swing sty-lings, a bit of mariachi, a touch of Chet Baker played by a family of season acoustic musicians - violin, cello, trumpet, upright bass, classical and steel string guitars, mandolin, female and male vocals and harmonies. Get ready to dance all night with this great Austin Western Swing Band

T he Strings Attached String Quartet is like a set of paper dolls with three different outfits.


1) Classical- We bring you the graceful and timeless elegance of classical music played with integrity and confidence. Complete with the tuxedos.

2) Jazz- We've got a terrific list of jazz standards, from Cole Porter to Dave Brubeck to Willie Nelson, arranged for the jazz string quartet. These guys can swing. For an even cooler combo add a vocalist and make it a quintet.

3) Pop- We've noticed a trend for our clients to request more popular and unconventional selections at their events, from Rock-and-roll favorites to current hits. So we've stepped up to meet the demand with quartet arrangements that range from the Beatles to Stevie Wonder to Coldplay. Check out our hip music videos.

An Austin String Quartet that plays whatever you need to make your day the way you want it.

Jazz Combo

The original Will Taylor ensemble was a jazz group. Booking the jazz combo is a great way to hear these virtuosos really stretch out. They cut their teeth on jazz, which is to say it was a very demanding training ground for every other genre of music that Strings Attached plays. The jazz combo can be a subtle trio, or on up to a six-piece band, depending on what’s right for your event. The repertoire includes classic standards from 20’s, 30’s and 40’s (Sinatra, Cole Porter, Gershwin), big band tunes, and selections from later jazz, like Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock and Pat Metheny. For an extra splash of elegance and light, add a vocalist. The Austin Jazz group with strings attached.

I attended the July 16th evening show. I really enjoyed the performance. It featured great music (it was Beatles music after all), very talented musicians who performed well together, and innovative musical arrangements, in a beautiful woodland setting. Use of acoustic instruments combined with soft overhead lighting contributed to a very intimate performance.

Strings Attached are such a valuable part of the Austin live music environment. I love the eclectic range of genres that they embrace, the way they improvise together so well, and their commitment to the Austin live music culture with their inclusion of a wide variety of guest performers and artist tributes at their shows. Their Strings on the Grass show turned a 3rd date at an outdoor show on a hot, humid Austin evening, which could have been disastrous, into a magical and romantic experience. What a great night. Thank you, Will!

Strings Attached did a beautiful job at our Austin wedding! They provided strings for the ceremony, a jazz trio for the cocktail hour, and a fabulous band at the reception. We couldn't have been happier with the thoughtful way they helped us narrow down the music choices, the ease with which they worked with our planner an venues, and the artful way they got all ages up and dancing on the dance floor. I couldn't recommend them more highly! My advice is to have a short list of 'must play songs' and let them read the room for the rest; it's what they do best! They have regular shows around town, so you can go check them out before you commit! You can't go wrong with Strings Attached!

You all were great! I think the audience was a bit subdued due to the environment. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But the mood should match the music and Libby is such an upbeat, quirky artist; the audience didn't match her mood. But I'm not complaining, the church was beautiful. And all the hard work that goes into producing it was much appreciated!

My wife and I attended the 'Strings on Grass' concert by 'Strings Attached' with guest artists: Libby Kirkpatrick, Anthony DeCosta, and featuring Jimmy LaFave. It was a delight. An informal house concert in the backyard with an adoring audience, and great musicians having a great time performing and improvising accompaniments.
I forgot how powerful live performances are with the spontaneity and joy that goes with it.
It was a perfect date night with my wife.

World class musicians! We used them for the pre-ceremony cocktail hour (jazz combo), the ceremony (string quartet) and reception (full band). Working with Will was easy -- he knew exactly what we wanted and I didn't doubt him for a second. Extremely professional. As I was walking down the aisle, I thought "damn, that sounds good."

I love the music, I love watching the craft , artistry and mastery of musicians. Mostly, I love how inspired and hopeful I feel when I see the presence of being embodied by every person on the stage.

Will, I had a really great time. I have been a huge fan of the Austin music scene since I lived here in the 80s. I told Karen that I am seriously thinking of season tickets. Agaiin, I have not enjoyed an evening out like that in many years. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Bill Haass Col., Special Forces (Retired)

I was amazed at how wonderful the sound was. The music was excellent - and very up close and personal. Very Austin. Thank you so much. Can't wait for the blues show with Carolyn and Guy!

Hi Amanda, I wanted to say a big 'Thank You' to you, Will and your fantastic band for Saturday (October 15, 2011). It was so lovely working with you all and you were so helpful and accommodating. I loved, loved the music, the energy and the happiness that was created. I'm lucky to have picked up this wedding last moment, which gave me the opportunity to see you live. I hope to be able to work more weddings with you and soon! Thank you once again, Christina - Wedding Warriors
