9-12 Midnight:
Miss Quincy Trio
Tipping her hat to earlier times and the rugged Northern beauty that has been the backdrop of her life, Miss Quincy draws inspiration from the pioneering women who came before, the blues ladies of the 1930's, dirty guitar licks, and sweet gospel harmonies. In 2011 Miss Quincy embarked on her second independently booked UK/European tour, toured across Canada with a brand new all-girl band, and opened for the likes of Fred Eaglesmith. Her latest album, Your Mama Don't Like Me (which was recorded in a little log cabin in Northern Canada) was awarded Folk/Traditional Recording of the Year at the BC Interior Music Awards (CAN) and has received accolades from BBC Radio (UK), Q Magazine (UK), and reached top 5 in the earshot! Folk/Roots/Blues charts in Exclaim! magazine (CAN). She is currently recording a new album produced by Canadian roots & blues legend Tim Williams and gearing up for a 2012 album release tour that will take the band all across Canada and Europe. Miss Quincy performs solo, as a duo, and most recently with a smokin' guitar/upright bass/drum playing trio made up of ladies from across the globe. Miss Quincy doesn't fit the classic girl singer/songwriter mold and this isn't your average all-girl band.
