Execs and VIPs of Verizon were partying to the music of Phat Strad in a San Diego hotel this April! The event started off with a few downtempo serenades as guests arrived, but the string girls soon had the crowd singing along to rock n’ roll classics like “Heartbreaker” and “Dream On.” And, as usual, the girls’ solos had attendees stopping dead in their tracks! There’s definitely no better way to get amped up for a big awards meeting, and if the number of high fives and handshakes after the set were anything to go by, we wouldn’t be surprised if Verizon kicked off more events like this in the future. Can you hear us now?

Phat Strad packed their red ball gowns and red lipsticks and traveled to Hollywood for a night as ’40s inspired glamour girls at the 2012 Creative Arts Emmys Governor’s Ball! The theme, “Romantic Rhapsody in Red,” was very fitting for both the event – a glitzy affair of red silk and shining “stars” adorning the walls – and the electric quartet, who entertained the crowd of TV superstars and their families with musical rhapsodies from atop a spinning central platform. The Phat Strad string girls alternated sets and also did a few collaborative songs with celebrated LA party band Splash. This was definitely a night to remember!
