About Me |
|
| The Endless Road Strings are Julie Lastinger, violin, Tina Simpson, violin, Joanna Binford, viola, and Rebecca Kiekenapp, cello. They are classically trained musicians living in Lexington, KY, who have spent most of their lives playing all types of music, ranging from classical to pop, rock, bluegrass, and whatever else crosses their path. They are members of the Lexington Philharmonic Orchestra, Look Out Below (a bluegrass band), Paragon Musical Theatre Orchestra and teachers in the Lexington area. During the past few years they've been the "back up band" for Tommy Emmanuel, Pat Kirtley, Matt and Pauly Zarb and other touring performers. Recently, the Endless Road Strings toured Germany and Poland with guitarist Tommy Emmanuel. ERS have been a standout feature at the prestigious Chet Atkins Appreciation Society in Nashville since 2006, adding a "classical" flair and sparkle for some of the world's well known country, pop, and jazz guitarists performing at that event.
