He blew the audience away with his rendition of “Twist and Shout!”

In 2007 , he met his idol,Blues Legend Buddy Guy at a concert in his hometown. Buddy was so impressed with Quinn’s guitar playing that he invited him to play on his Grammy nominated cd “Skin Deep” where he met future producer and song writing partner Tom Hambridge. Quinn continued to hone his guitar and vocal skills over the next couple of years and would sit in with Buddy whenever possible. He continued to appear on local and national tv programs including OPRAH and theTODAY SHOW. Buddy decided to independently release Quinn’s first cd in 2011 and bring Quinn out as opening act for his 2011 Spring /Summer tour. Buddy recently said in a PBS interview “you don’t come across talent like this every day…people called Ray Charles a genius….I think you got another one here”
