Jazz, Funk & Fun

In the Viking Room this Friday at 9 PM. The Dirk Quinn Band is a jazz/funk band that coincidentally bears the front man’s name.  Based out of Philadelphia, the group travels extensively throughout the US and Canada.  Utilizing over a decade of steady performing, they’ve developed a unique and sincere style – one that appeals to a wide variety of music listeners with fans ranging from the beard stroking jazz aficionados to the jam band hippies.

The band’s infectious energy and musical interplay routinely attract listeners that are admittedly more accustomed to lyric-based music.  With great melodic sensibilities, rhythmic experimentation and an accessible modern edge, the Dirk Quinn Band is jazz/funk improvisation at its most engaging!
