About the Artist
This five piece rock band from Orlando found a fresh way to incorporate melodic string arrangements with meaningful lyrics you’ll find yourself singing for days after you hear them. As the guitar and drums take on their traditional roles in the band, the strings (Violin, Cello, and Upright Bass) provide the classical influence for a different twist on rock. Cure for Caska have been getting airplay on radio stations across the country (like WPRK, WMMO, and KBHU/KJKT FM) and have had the opportunity to share the stage with bands such as Blues Traveler and The Spin Doctors. Their latest album, Wait and Hope, was co-produced with Adam Chadwick, mixed by James Wisner at Plush Studios in Winter Springs, FL., and mastered by Alan Douchess at West West Side Music in New Windsor, NY.Technical Requirements:
