    Quinn Walker

    Quinn Walker is excited. He’s excited to perform music: he’s a one-man band, singing, playing guitar, electronics, and drums all at once. He’s excited to write songs: a prolific composer, his first commercial album is a double CD set culled from the six or more albums he’s self-produced in just the last couple of years. Quinn Walker joins host David Garland to talk about his music and to give the first-ever radio performance of his exciting and surprising songs.

    The performances can be

    electric, chaotic and sublime.

    It's the songwriting that grabs me.

    Keep it up Quinn,

    there's a big audience

    waiting to hear you.

    David! Quinn!

    I wasn't able to listen on line. Bummer.

    I have heard Quinn's music at his myspace site, and I love it.

    Disclosure: I am the "godmother" of one of Quinn's best friends. I knew them when they were in diapers.

    Will there be an archive of the show, so that I can listen to it? That would be so great.

    p.s. you can use my email addy.

    Early this evening you briefly mentioned a

    17 year old English singer, Flora Marling, who will be featured on a forthcoming program.

    Please give me the date and the approximate

    time within the program. Thanks!

    Regards, Martin Sticht

    P.S.--have I spelled her name right? Couldn't

    find her on Amazon.

    in an industries that needs updating.

    Good things to come for Quint
