Holy Smokes...we got a natural!! Incredible blues guitar prodigy Quinn Sullivan took a moment from touring to spend with Phillip and David to share his other-worldly experiences - being on the stage by 4, on the news by 5, the Ellen Degeneres show at 6, being asked to play on a Buddy Guy record at 8, nationally touring his own music 9, playing Eric Clapton's Crossroads Guitar Festival at Madison Square Garden at 14, and being a feature of the IFC films documentary "The Torch" about Buddy Guy's life and how he hopes to pass along the mantle of the blues down to the next generation of musicians like Quinn.
All this while continuing to release amazing music - 3 albums since then, capped with Wide Awake in 2021 where he was featured as the songwriter on all tracks.
All of this early success has been met with such grace and humility, making Quinn an even greater human being on top of a virtuosic guitar player. Don't miss this one! It's wicked ahsome.
