He does not subscribe to any particular genre. He nomadically moves from one state to the next, like mercury. He creates. He destroys. He builds it all over again. This is his art. This is Rock & Roll.

Quinton Blair: Somewhere in Southern Manitoba where the granite of the Canadian Shield meets the wide open space of the wind swept Prairies, buried deep in the Red River gumbo, are the stakes of roots country songwriter Quinton Blair. Capturing songs that echo a refrain of traditionalist country, Blair with his deceptively dry candor; and his mysterious yet familiar ability to tell a story, delivers a live performance that twitches a nerve deep in your soul. It is an experience in Steve Earle’s storytelling crossed with Dwight Yoakam’s reverence to the traditions of country music. A thirst for imagery and substance. Attainable yet distant. An undeniable nourishment of the soul.
