"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.... " - Raleigh Music Listings

"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 lava-laden form of electric fusion.

To put it another way: THIS GUY IS SMOKIN'" - Connect Savannah

"Always keeping the audience on its feet, DQB manages to captivate the hearts of the crowd, while providing a thoroughly concise dissertation on the possibilities for music in our current age."
