..............................................................................................................Michael Quinn and the Bourbon Kings have continued the touring schedule initiated by the Virgin Suicides. One of the high points of 2009 being "Book Across the Bay". BATB is North America's 2nd largest cross country ski marathon where the Bourbon Kings performed for an estimated 6000 attendees!
Michael Quinn’s 13 song, sophomore release, “Whiskey Rebellion”, (who could forget Michael’s 2004 freshman effort, “sushi, sex, music”, CD release party at the Turf Club featuring nyataimori and free sushi!) features an all star cast of road tested Twin Cities musicians...............................................
From the Hawaiian flavored “Road to Hana” (featuring Andy Dee on steel guitar) to the in your face garage rocker, “Sunday Dress”, “Whiskey Rebellion” has more flavor than grandma’s fried chicken!
Moon Pie awarded track of the day in Americana 1/12/09
