Corporate event violinist in Denver
Extreme Strings brings live electric violin to company parties, galas, conferences and receptions across Colorado, with a full-band sound and its own professional sound system.
Extreme Strings is a Denver electric violin act led by Jared Judge, who usually performs solo over full-band backing tracks. He brings his own QSC sound system or works with your AV team, arrives about an hour before his first set, and can send a certificate of insurance and a W-9. Most events book two to three hours of music.

Sound for large events →How it works for planners
- Send the basics. Your date, venue, start and end times, and the parts of the event you want music for.
- Get a proposal. Jared sends a proposal quickly. You sign and pay online in BookLive, and checks are fine for a final payment.
- Handle the paperwork. He can send a COI that lists your venue as additional insured, a W-9, and sign your company's contract if you have one.
- Event day. Jared arrives about an hour before his first set. He needs a closet or corner for his cases, not a green room, and can provide a microphone for your thank-yous. He plays the music; your host runs the program.

Questions planners ask
Is it just you, or do other musicians come too?
Jared usually performs solo over full-band backing tracks, so your attendees hear a whole band behind the violin. As he puts it, "it's typically just me."
Do we need to provide sound or AV?
No. Jared brings his own sound system. If you have an audio engineer, he can work with them instead, and the price is the same either way.
Can you play alongside a DJ or other entertainers?
Yes. Jared can play with a DJ, and with performers like aerialists: "I basically make the music, and then they dance to it."
Will you MC or make announcements?
No. Jared doesn't MC, but he can provide a microphone during his contracted hours so your host can welcome or thank guests.
Do you travel outside Denver?
Yes. Extreme Strings plays across Colorado and travels anywhere. A travel fee may apply outside metro Denver.
