They Sing. They String. They Shred!!! FEMMES OF ROCK is a high-octane, multimedia rock experience that redefines the electric violin. Fronted by three powerhouse female violinist/vocalists and backed by a thunderous three-piece band, this show takes classic rock and heavy metal to a level you’ve never seen—or heard—before. From Queen, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Ozzy to Van Halen, AC/DC, Guns N’ Roses, Metallica, Rush, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, The Who, and beyond, FEMMES OF ROCK tears through legendary anthems with jaw-dropping precision and fire. You won’t believe it’s violins driving the sound until you see it for yourself.
At the helm is Nina DiGregorio, leader and founder of FEMMES OF ROCK, hailed as the Eddie Van Halen of the violin—blazing with the virtuosity of a guitar hero and the swagger of true rock ’n’ roll. Her recent viral video has exploded past 35 million views worldwide, cementing her as a trailblazer redefining what the violin can do.
Nina’s talent has drawn praise from rock royalty:
• Ivan Moody (Five Finger Death Punch): “Next Level.”
• Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi): “This girl is amazing. Way to go, Nina.”
• Peter Frampton: “So cool. I’m honored you learnt me note for note. That’s something I don’t think I can do. You made my year.”
• Michael Anthony (Van Halen): “You rock it, girl. Nina, you’re killing it.”
• Kathy Rhoads (sister of Randy Rhoads): “I always said my brother’s guitar sings and sounds like a violin. He would love this.”
• Danny Seraphine (Chicago drummer): “Nina is amazing. She nailed Terry Kath’s ‘25 or 6 to 4’ solo better than anyone I’ve heard since Terry himself.”
FEMMES OF ROCK has shared stages with legends like Ted Nugent, Kansas, Cheap Trick, Daughtry, Bad Company, Michael McDonald, Charlie Daniels and more…leaving audiences across the country electrified.
Exclusive VIP Meet & Greet packages are available, including a personalized gift, photo ops, autographs, and the chance to hang out with the Femmes themselves. Space is limited—get yours before they’re gone!
