Appalachian StringWorks provides live wedding music with string quartet, string trio, string duet, and cello music in Knoxville, TN and throughout East Tennessee, specializing in elegant prelude, ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception performances.

We are inspired by the rich musical heritage of the Appalachian region. We believe music is more than sound — it is connection, emotion, and memory — and we approach every performance with care, artistry, and respect for each client’s vision.

Appalachian StringWorks, founded by Ian McClure, is LGBTQ+ owned and operated and proudly serves all couples and all communities. We are honored to help celebrate love in all its forms and to provide music that reflects authenticity, inclusivity, and joy!
