Too Slim and the Taildraggers Concert Review
The first act was the Thunderchickens http://thethunderchickens.net/ . What a refreshing original sound! It’s not often you see a band of this quality as the opening act for a four band concert…. And it won’t be long before they are headlining beyond the confines of our little area. They are that good. The lead singer (slash violin slash hap slash tambourine slash kick-**** performer) Mel absolutely steals the show, grabs your attention with a hint of Shakira hips. For sure, she uses all of her natural tools, but it would all mean nothing if not for her amazing voice! The guitar player was without pic or shoes, but absolutely massaged the music from his instrument. The drummer was solid and the bass player was rather stoic, but laid down a nice bass line. By the way, my drummer would probably kick my **** if I tried to stand on top of his bass drum (may have something to do with me being 6’7’’, 300#). Great show! I will definitely be in attendance to one of their many upcoming performances. To read entire article, Click Here.
SPOTLIGHT IS ON:
Quinn Keon!

Quinn Keon's own brand of "Attitude Rock" is a full-on guitar assault. Quinn says the origin of his music comes from life itself. He draws on his own experiences from the most basic to more complex feelings. Some of Quinn's favorite "high-energy influences" range from short skirts and high heels to 4-wheel drive mud trucks and high-powered rifles.
Quinn Keon says he represents the working class. "You have to work a little harder if you want to play. Nothing has come easy for me. It’s a lot of hard work and determination every day and the perseverance to overcome many obstacles."
With his unique style combining melody and brute force edge, Quinn is able to deliver a dynamic musical performance. With several vocal and instrumental compositions in his arsenal, Quinn shows that he is fully capable of switching gears with his guitar style, but when he downshifts into "Attitude Rock" you’d better hold on 'cause it’s one hell of a ride.
