From the sandy beaches of luxury resorts in Hawaii and Mexico, to the high fashion streets of Italy, to the red carpets of Hollywood: PHAT STRAD is the world’s Number One choice for visually appealing and musically impressive entertainment.

What is Phat Strad?

Unique, ultra-cool, rockin’, elegant, beautiful, smooth, powerful, tres chic, slightly sexy, versatile, musical, visual, and appealing to everyone.  Technically speaking, PHAT STRAD is an international cast of classically trained beautiful girls playing futuristic electronic instruments with an  industrial strength club groove…or, in the words of those who see their shows, they are simply AMAZING! Created by bandleader and producer Roby Turner, and A-list electric violinist Ivie Etkins, Phat Strad was born in the nightclubs of Las  Vegas and currently plays concerts, prestigious events, and corporate shows all over North America. Although best known for their classic rock  mashup performance style, Phat Strad’s incredible versatility has filled their show calendar with gala dinners, awards shows, rock concerts, ritzy  receptions, premieres, convention general session openers, celebrity parties, grand openings, weddings, exotic locations, and over-the-top extravaganzas. Phat Strad has its own unique musical style. They take a great song, create an original arrangement for string quartet, produce an  accompanying club groove in their own studio, add guitar pedals, throw in some incredible chops and performance flair, and BAM! You  have the distinctly original musical product that is PHAT STRAD. All delivered by young, beautiful, and talented women!
