The Six String Soldiers is a component unit of the United States Army Field Band responsible for performing contemporary American folk music including bluegrass and country, as well as acoustic covers of popular songs.
Activated in 2013, the ensemble first achieved widespread attention during Boston's February 2015 snowstorm when weather forced it to cancel a planned appearance in that city.[1][2][3] The quartet, instead, filmed a video outside their hotel performing George Harrison's "Here Comes the Sun" which quickly accumulated nearly nine million views on Facebook.[1][3]
Six String Soldiers has performed with Darryl Worley, Harry Connick, Jr., and has opened for Creedence Clearwater Revival.[1]
The group has alternated between four to five members [4]
