Quinton Blair - July 4

Honest as a day spent on a tractor, and driven like the drifting Prairie snow.  7-time Manitoba Country Music Association award winner, Quinton Blair is a road running, tale-spinning songwriter.  Authentic and smooth like a diesel engine, his beard glistening in the setting sun, its rodeo mud in his teeth and horses in his blood.

Born with a natural Prairie sensibility, his rural roots running deep in the Pembina Valley and Parkland regions of Manitoba, Quinton is undeniably authentic.  He sticks firmly to writing what he knows, and his songs speak to the rural listener with stories of heartbreak, of family and of rural living.  As a lifelong outdoors enthusiast, he writes with a strong sense of place and imagery.  A student of the great western storyteller Louis L’Amour, Quinton shapes narrative with words, as an artist with a brush.
