Originally from Knoxville Tennessee, Sam Quinn, also of the Everybodyfields is on the Concord, NC based label Ramseur Records which introduced the Avett Brothers to the world.On this, the first hot day of the summer, in a tiny room with 4 musicians, a snaggly cat and myself the temperature quickly became uncomfortable. "With the everybodyfields taking a break in early 2009, Sam Quinn is stepping out in front with some new tunes, fresh faces and maybe even a new pair of brown pants. In an effort to keep the the good times rolling in a gleefully depressing way, Sam Quinn brings you his latest incarnation of Honest American Music, The Japan Ten." "Toe-tapping and cheek-salting songs of liberation and release to quell the longings of the soul, quiet the whispers of your fears, and quench the spirit that is this great country. Sam Quinn and Japan Ten is a brand new outfit, featuring the likes of Josh Oliver (of the everybodyfields), Megan Gregory (of Meridian fame), and Bristol's Brandon Story (borrowed from Catbird Seat, CBS & The Clique and Ed Snodderly). The band plays some of the high points from the everybodyfields records, but also a lot of new stuff and, well, just some things that make them feel good. Cause if it feels good you should do it.
