Stampede On 17th – Live Music from Quinton Blair Music

Honest as a day spent on a tractor and driven like the drifting Prairie snow, Quinton Blair is heavily influenced by the storytelling and songwriting traditions of country music. Blair is a 4-time Manitoba Country Music Associations Roots Artist of the Year; a 2-time MCMA Male Artist of the Year and also garnered himself, Songwriter of the Year for the song 20 Dollar Bottle; a collaboration written with Jason Blaine.  “The country music family is so fantastic in this country, and its an honour to have your peers recognize all the hard work and energy that goes into every song and every show,” says Blair of his multiple awards.

Blair has released five singles to Canadian radio, granting him national exposure to many markets across Canada, with a loyal Prairie following.

Born with a natural Prairie sensibility and roots that run deep in rural Manitoba, Quinton is authentic as the day is long. When not moving a dance floor with his up-tempo, boot-stompin’, brand of country music; you will find him in the roping pen, or guiding folks through the wilderness of Manitoba on horseback.

Blair’s music is heavily influenced by the likes of Dwight, AJ, and Garth which reflects the fiddle-driven era of dancehall country of the 90’s.

His mainstream crossover appeal, and his ability to execute an engaging live performance, have presented Blair many opportunities to share the stage with the likes of Corb Lund, Charlie Major, Terri Clark, High Valley and many more, along with playing main stage festivals and headline shows across the Prairies. From tear-jerkers to boot scooters, Blair has an incredible handle on the country music songbook, and an uncanny ability to read a crowd and bring them to the dancefloor.  Quinton doesn’t just play country music, country is in his blood.
