QUINN DEVEAUX

Quinn is from the Bay Area and is currently on a West Coast tour. The last time I saw him, which was the first time I met him, was about a year and a half ago, and he was about to embark on an East Coast tour. I asked him how it went and he said it went very well, and that he went even further east, to London and Scotland.

Quinn says his influences include Bo Diddley and Muddy Waters. He's got a great voice, and his hollow body guitar sound really picked up well with my cheap little point-and-shoot camera.

This video was taken during Quinn's last minute booking at Liquid Assets wine bar in Ashland, Oregon. It was a Monday night, and since there were no Shakespeare plays that night, it was a rather slow night for businesses in the area. There were about ten people there to see him play, mostly friends, although there were a couple of randoms who ended up buying his CD (which I did as well, it's called Lions on Lakes). I'm looking at the CD now, and there's no website listed on it, even though I heard him tell some people there was. I was going to link to it from this post. If I find out what it is, I'll come back and update this.

Last night Quinn was supposed to play another club in town, but when I got there to see him, it turned out the place had been triple-booked. So, Quinn and I and several friends sat and had drinks and watched the other bands play. I left early, right as Quinn was setting up on stage to play, and I felt bad for ditching him, but he had quite a crowd at that point. I'll have to ask him how it went when I play disc golf with him later this afternoon.
