Chicago Event Musicians

Chicago Street Strings (ChiSS - /Shy-S-S/) began in the summer of 2012 as a busking duet, which is how we got our name! Our goal is to provide our clients with the most creative, affordable, & enjoyable music that we can possibly offer. We have a roster of talented professional musicians that can play anything from Bach to the Beatles, from Irish Jigs to Bon Jovi. We specialize in live performance, ceremony music and recording sessions and are available for hire in many different instrumentation combinations for any type of project or event. Hire us for your next one!

We go with the flow! We are very easy going and flexible on the job. We are also very versatile and always willing to accommodate any special requests you may have. We have quite the variety of instrumentation options (more than most!) which sets up apart from other musical groups and we pride ourselves on having a very extensive repertoire list! You'll be sure to find music selections for your wedding or event that are as unique as you! Thoughtfully organized with every type of genre and client in mind, our song list is easily viewable from our website here - (personal information protected by Zola)
