   About Quinn Band

Quinn is a lion standing tall in the sunburnt Aussie musical landscape. There's a lot to say, and it's getting harder to do amid the static and chaos growing steadily around us.

"Life for me is about growing beyond what we already are, through understanding ourselves and each other. I'd like to think I'm standing up and working against the big boys who are slowly turning the screws."

"I love reggae and folk music. It's music that always has stood up for the people, so it's a great genre for expression and communication. I hope my music carries across feelings on things that aren't getting much attention anymore - things like love, family, community, spirituality and living as a part of the earth. Those things matter to me, and too much of society is being eroded by the media pushing it's agendas on us and deciding what we learn."

Beginning as a solo folk singer, Quinn's performances started unassumingly, and evolved organically. "As I learned more about history, about people and society, I wanted to reflect what I observed, to create studies of life." These stories and experiences are woven into the band's music - bass-heavy reggae dub and burnin' roots versions, from which sprang forth an Aussie reggae folk sound - a little bit Kiwi reggae, a little bit John Butler Trio, some Carus Thompson and a good serving of Marley & the Wailer's vibration.

"For me, the way foward is thinking for ourselves, and taking responsibility for ourselves. That's why I've chosen to be vegan, that's why I've discarded most of my high school education and started again, and that's why I think we need to address the important issues, because I believe we can be so much more. In the end, it's up to the individual to do it their own way, to bring down the walls using the methods they think most appropriate."

"I do cop shit sometimes. I'm certainly not perfect. I'm just trying to care though, to do something meaningful, like so many of the other folks out there. We live in a beautiful world, and I'm fighting for it with everything I've got. I'm never giving up!"

Love!

Hey thanks for the note! I love your song Revolution, sweet message! We haven't played live yet, just busking, in the process of trying to get some more tracks together and then play some shows. I am from Canada and new to the Australian music scene so hopefully it will treat me well! Are you guys signed at all?

Quinny,
You can check it out, "Riding the Firestorm" on my youtube page. Trying to get muso's to go into a studio to play on the road, and record is not easy! Maybe being a unknown is just a small point of note~LOL. But man all the best in Brissy mate for your family and career pursuits. Your musical talents should not be wasted. You can grab me here or via my cell phone anytime.
