BEHIND THE SCENES AT RED ROCKS!!!

If you were there that night (20 June 2018), you would know that Red Rock String Quartet really added an extra oomph to the Kaleo concert at Red Rocks. When I saw that they had posted a little behind-the-scenes rehearsal clip on Twitter, I reached out to them to see if they had any more -- and they did! Below you'll find a few thoughts and some extra BTS photos from the quartet's co-artistic director, Lauren Spaulding.

"They were super awesome, friendly, and very respectful of us joining them!!" 

"Kaleo was made up of true artists! The lead was amazingly consistent with his vocal work, which is very difficult to do on tour!! He expected perfection from himself and the musicians, but he was respectful and reverent of our quartet! "

"Many bands ignore us or think of us as "back up singers", but the whole band was warm and welcomed us into their songs, dressing room, and rehearsals! Thor was especially awesome helping us get all the cues and with some final edits to our music — as we only had one rehearsal before the performance!"

I'm feel so lucky to be able to share these with you, as I was at this concert as well and immediately was struck by the incredible impact the addition of a string section added to the whole experience.  Absolutely one of a kind and completely mesmerizing to be a part of.

My hope for the fandom is that this gets released as a Red Rocks live concert taping...but in the meanwhile, here's my recording of their DOUBLE encore performance from the end of their concert ;)

"We had a complete blast and look forward to working with them again!"
