“Ordinary” is not a word one would associate with 10-year-old Quinn Sullivan. The guitarist, singer, songwriter and recording artist from the Boston area already has a resume people much older than him would envy. He has been amazing people with his guitar playing since the young age of three and when Quinn was six, he caught the attention of the Ellen Degeneres Show and was flown out to Los Angeles to be a guest. Since then, Quinn has made an appearance on the Oprah show and has shared the stage with blues legends Buddy Guy and B.B. King and has played at such illustrious venues as The Beacon Theater in New York City, the Orpheum Theater in Boston and Guy’s Chicago club Buddy Guy’s Legends (where Derek Trucks made his first appearance at the age of 13).
Performing on the Legends stage isn’t all Trucks and Quinn have in common. Quinn -- like Trucks and along with Susan Tedeschi, Robert Randolph and Eric Clapton -- was asked to appear on Guy’s GRAMMY®-nominated CD Skin Deep, released in 2008. Quinn can be heard showing off his guitar skills in a solo on the track “Who’s Gonna Fill Those Shoes”.
Quinn has recently been working in the studio recording new material with producer/songwriter Tom Hambridge (Buddy Guy, Susan Tedeschi, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Winter). Hambridge has talked about Quinn’s professionalism in the studio. “I completely forgot how young he was.” He continues, “We’ve recorded some amazing songs. I cannot wait for the world to be turned on to this kid… he’s going to be a big star.”
The journey continues for Quinn this summer, when he goes on tour in cities around the country.
When Quinn isn’t playing the guitar with music legends or hanging out with celebrities, he’s practicing his drumming skills, playing baseball with friends and watching scary movies. He’s also got dreams of “playing for people and meeting more of my heroes including Eric Clapton, David Gilmore, Carlos Santana… and maybe someday meet Paul McCartney.”
So what does the young prodigy think of his extraordinary talents?
“I definitely consider myself a regular kid,” says Quinn. “Who can also play guitar.”
The turkey shot out of the oven and rocketed into the air, it knocked every plate off the table and partly demolished a chair.
It ricocheted into a corner and burst with a deafening boom, then splattered all over the kitchen, completely obscuring the room.
It stuck to the walls and the windows, it totally coated the floor, there was turkey attached to the ceiling, where there'd never been turkey before.
It blanketed every appliance, it smeared every saucer and bowl, there wasn't a way I could stop it, that turkey was out of control.
I scraped and I scrubbed with displeasure, and thought with chagrin as I mopped, that I'd never again stuff a turkey with popcorn that hadn't been popped

Hey Little Brother! Hope you're doin good! Just coming by to get caught up on what's been going on with you...it's been a while since I've watched any of your vids and listened to your tunes and all I can say is YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION! I hope you feel blessed to have a Dad who encourages you to dig-in and let her rip! Playing with BB King and Buddy Guy must really be a fantastic experience...don't take it for granted. You've been blessed to do things other people can only dream about! Thanks for being YOU, Quinn. Keep it all real and above all, KEEP RAWKIN!
Man I have been watching you for years! Till this day I tell people that I miss SRV and not having him around kills me. Now that I have been following you, I know that the future of blues is in good hands!!! I live in the Chicago area and every time you have been here I missed you. Hopefully I will one day see you live! Long live the blues!!!!!!
