About me. I am a professional bluegrass banjo player and teacher. I grew up listening to Scruggs, Crowe, Stanley, & Hartford; to name only a few. I went through a big Bela Fleck phase (pre-Flecktones); I will again. I play more Scruggsy stuff these days, but have a few melodic chops for fiddle tunes. I've recorded extensively and toured & taught all over the U.S., Canada, & parts of Europe.
I currently perform with The Tone Rangers https://youtu.be/kXApWBGNuro?si=YAoW-5Hqbvu2wIOJ
I teach lessons. I teach banjo; have done since 1989. I have learned a lot over the years and always enjoy learning more. I remember how it feels to struggle through the initial learning process! If I am performing in your town, or you are passing through Toronto, feel free to contact me for a lesson. E-mail me at wheelhoss@gmail.com or text (416) 819-8990.
Drop me a line. If you think I can answer any questions or you just want to say hello, please drop me a line. If you are ever in Toronto and would like to get together or are looking for music events, please drop me a line.
Enjoy the banjo journey.
Chris Quinn

As you say it, Chris, "Always a pleasure". As far as I am concerned, on a lot of different levels, you are "Da Man" on BHO. You set a pretty solid and meaningful standard, and it's nice to see that, in your humble way, you know how greatly you are appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Chris, I really appreciate your approach to music and your words of wisdom. I hope to see the band later today at the Brunswick and am very much looking forward to "Pigtown Fling"

Chris, you would do us all a huge favor if you would write a book. Your posts are always incredibly insightful and well written. If you can get Oprah to sponsor you, I'd vote for you for president! :-) Oh wait. Become an American citizen, then get Oprah, then I'd vote for you!

Hello Chris,
I'm new to the banjo hangout and just getting started playing the banjo. I've only been playing the banjo for about a year but have been able to pick some bluegrass with a few groups of accomplished players. I'm a Canadian, born and brought up and presently live in Nova Scotia, Canada. Theres alot of bluegrass down here so if you you ever end up near Yarmouth, NS drop me a line and I'll give you contact info. (Are you an origanial Canadian? Just thought I'd ask.)
