New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Well-Strung, the innovative and eclectic New York City-based string quartet that derives their unique blend of vocals and strings by fusing classical music with the pop music of today, has announced that their latest album, Under the Covers will be released

Lady Gaga and Vivaldi to
Queen and Rossini. The quartet, who have quickly gained international attention, playing in London, Rome and Vienna and selling out venues all across the United States, features
Edmund Bagnell (first violin),
Christopher Marchant (second violin),
Daniel Shevlin (cello) and Trevor Wadleigh (viola). A follow-up to their chart-topping sophomore album POPssical (released in 2015), Under the Covers is now available for pre-order at this link, on iTunes, Amazon, and wherever music is sold.

Out Magazine described them best when they said: "Aside from all being incredibly gorgeous, the men of the all-male singing string quartet Well-Strung are talented masters of turning pop hits into instrumental wonders." After the group's now manager Mark Cortale discovered
Christopher Marchant playing the violin on the streets of Provincetown, MA, Well-Strung made their debut as a group in 2012. Since then, they've performed for President Obama, Hillary Clinton and at The Vatican, played alongside artists including Kristin Chenoweth, Audra McDonald, and Neil Patrick Harris, and covered everyone from the
Beatles to Taylor Swift. Later this fall, following the release of Under the Covers, Well-Strung will embark on a two-week international US
Embassy Cultural Engagement tour that includes performances in Istanbul, London and more.
