Based in New Orleans, the Electric Yat Quartet (EYQ) is a unique and energetic string quartet, bringing fresh style to classical, jazz, rock, and pop music. They collaborate frequently with other local musicians and play at major indoor and outdoor events such as Zoo to Do and Lark in the Park, Tipitina’s, New Orleans Jazz Fest, French Quarter Fest, The Broadside, NOLA Brewing, St. Alphonsus Church, Bayou Beer Garden, Longue Vue House and Gardens, Faubourg Brewing Co, and of course porch concerts in neighborhoods all around town.

EYQ has also collaborated with artists such as Trombone Shorty, Anders Osborne, Andre Bohren, Johnny Sketch & The Dirty Notes, Rory Danger & The Danger Dangers, and more. For this special performance, EYQ will be joined by André Bohren, a New Orleans–based pianist, composer, and multi-instrumentalist known for blending classical with the city’s vibrant funk and rock traditions. Bohren performed Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue with the Wyoming Symphony at sixteen, he later founded the award-winning band Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes and toured for years with his father, the late roots artist Spencer Bohren.

Tonight the group will play music from renowned composer and pianist, George Gershwin.
