DadLabs.com, a great blog for dads (and the whole family), spent a lot of time at the Austin Kiddie Limits stage back in October. They’re really nice pieces about making music a part of kids’ lives. Check these clips out!
Well, it was rainy and turned into a mud-pit but that did not dampen the mood during Quinn’s set at Austin City Limits. The crowd was big and the fans were cheering! Click here to see the News 8 Austin piece (Quinn’s on at around 3 minutes and 50 seconds).
Quinn was on the WGN Midday News on Thursday, September 10, playing some tunes with Buddy Guy! Below are some clips in case you missed it.
Quinn’s performance at Buddy Guy’s Legends last Friday was an awesome start to Lollapalooza weekend so when it came time to hit the kids’ stage on August 8, it wasn’t a big surprise that Quinn ROCKED it!

NBC’s Today Show took interest in Quinn after reading about him in the paper. They liked him so much, they decided to do a story on him! In case you missed it, check it out below!
THE TODAY SHOW ON NBC – JUNE 30, 2009
“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.”
Quinn has been staying busy these last few months as he keeps doing more and more cool stuff. One more cool thing can be added to the mix: Quinn will playing at Austin City Limits! Check him ou on the Austin Kiddie Limits stage on Saturday, October 3 at Zilker Park! For tickets, head to http://www.aclfestival.com/09tickets
