    Quinn has a rare ability to tell deeply personal stories and make them palatable to others, its refreshing. Like a frozen Bob Dyan ❤

    Quinn, you are at the same level (of talent and vibration you emanate with your voice) with Dylan and McCartney and all the well established artists. Create. create, never stop making music, you will make history! A talent like yours will not go untapped by some great record company. I am looking forward for more of your music, tours, etc...

    Buddy!!!! i just heard your NPR!!! honestly, to hear that you sound like this out of the tiny desk is heart warming. Your sound is RAW and i seem to feel that pain you feel! Honestly, when I listened to the beginning of the song for your dad....i didn't know if he was alive or gone. The heart you have is pure. Keep it up bud! love from canada!

    Great song! And that guitar sound is so nostalgic for me, as I had a similar-sounding acoustic on which I recorded a song in a similar scale.
