The Section Quartet | The Port of Los Angeles | September 14, 2013

Click here to check out the other blog entries I wrote up for the bands (Nightmare & The Cat, Deap Vally and Dead Sara) I was able to catch at the 2013 Port Of Los Angeles Lobster Festival.

My parents raised me on classical music, and having spent years learning how to play the piano and violin, and playing in a my high school’s orchestra, I have a great appreciation for orchestral music and sounds. The Section Quartet is a Los Angeles based band consisting of a cello (Richard Dodd), viola (Lauren Chipman) and two violins (Eric Gorfain and Daphne Chen). They have been performing since 1998 and their music consists of covers of popular rock songs.

Their music served as the perfect soundtrack for the late afternoon at the port, with patrons of the festival, sprawled out on blankets on the lawn in front of the stage, soaking up with last bits of sunlight as the sun set into the Pacific; their stomachs working to digest all of the Lobster consumed. Their classical renditions of  popular rock songs the band performed was fun to listen too and was a good appetizer for what was to come the rest of the evening.
