Based in Philadelphia, PA, Dirk Quinn Band is a four-piece high energy jazz/ funk band that travels extensively throughout the US/Canada. As stated in Raleigh Music Listings -"This Philly based band must be the standard bearers of the funk scene up in the City of Brotherly Love...they have a great blend of Dirk's guitar, drum keys and horns that make this a funky jazz journey into the unknown." "Fleet-fingered Philadelphia-based guitarist Dirk Quinn could be the illegitimate son of Jeff Beck, although his fiery electric work is firmly rooted in jazz and, in the context of his band, it's allayed with insistent, funky grooves to create a brilliantly lave-laden form of electric fusion. To put it another way, this guy is smokin'" writes Connect Savannah. You can follow Dirk Quinn Band on most social platforms and stream their music on all streaming sources.
