All Strings for Granted formed when four lifelong friends and music colleagues decided to bring their combined decades of professional experience and mutual love of music to special events around the Ark-La-Tex. Live music sets the mood of any occasion, and All Strings for Granted offers a large, ever-expanding repertoire to clients looking for the right selections to elevate their experience and create lasting memories. Always willing to cater to the preferences of clients, we offer a wide collection of traditional and contemporary pieces, and are able to add specially requested songs as well.
