It's hard to believe we are at Episode 59 of "Talking At The Diner" - my quest to shine a light on the stories of working musicians is like a bottomless cuppa coffee from your favorite greasy spoon. And this month's episode is another great fly-on-the-wall chat with a musician it has been a pleasure to get to know over the past couple years. Quentin Scott Jones is a member of David Uosikkinen's In The Pocket, and like many members of this collective, he has forged a long arc in his music career. Informed by his younger years growing up in his family's horse business, pivoting into car sales, then deciding to throw all his chips into playing music, Quentin's musical journey has been a fascinating one, not only with his adventures in his band The Reach Around Rodeo Clowns in the 90s/00s, but also with his current project with David Uosikkinen and Kenny Aaronson - the aptly named QDK.
QDK songs have been getting airplay on Little Steven's Underground Garage on Sirius XM and the band is already back in the studio to make more old school rock 'n' roll. Quentin been a producer, an engineer, a label owner, and a side man playing with the likes of Robert Gordon, Linda Gail Louis (sister of Jerry Lee), and Annabella Lwin from the 80s band Bow Wow Wow of "I Want Candy" fame.
We met up recently at the Neptune Diner in his hometown of Lancaster, PA where we had one helluva good hang. I know you'll enjoy our conversation - check it out!
