Rogue Lemon Collective is a Los Angeles–based and genre-defying string quintet that treats chamber instruments like a living, breathing band. What began in 2022 as a string quartet focused on inventive cover arrangements quickly evolved into something broader and more adventurous—embracing improvisation and original music rooted in jazz, folk, rock, and blues.

Made up of classically trained musicians who aren’t confined by classical conventions, Rogue Lemon Collective thrives on spontaneity, groove, and group interplay. Their performances blur the line between composition and improvisation, creating music that feels equally refined and raw.
The ensemble features violinists Eleanor Dunbar and Megan Shung, violist Rita Andrade, cellist Zack Reaves, and bassist Cooper Appelt. The group has collaborated with a wide range of artists, including singer-songwriter Ebony Loren, guitarist Anthony Plant, and pianists Larry Goldings and Jacob Hiser.

In addition to their live performances, Rogue Lemon Collective was featured on the recently released the jazz album Between Dreams & Daylight, recorded with bassist Mauricio Morales and pianist Adam Hersch. Looking ahead to 2026, the group is preparing their debut album of original music, as well as a collaborative recording and performance project with pianist Ryan Whyman exploring traditional folk music of the Uyghur community of Northwest China.
