QUINN STERNBERG

Quinn Sternberg is an Asheville bassist, composer and bandleader recently relocated from New Orleans and originally from Bloomington, Indiana.  His four albums “Weird World,” “Mind Beach,” “Cicada Songs.” and 2023’s “Walking on Eggshells” draw influence from Quinn’s Midwest musical upbringing, his decade performing in New Orleans, and contemporary musical elements.  The result is a fresh perspective on the jazz tradition that is simultaneously melodic and groovy, “complex but digestible” (DownBeat Magazine), and soulful while highly interactive.  Quinn’s band has wowed audiences at venues ranging from listening rooms to rock clubs to festival stages with their intense live energy.  Quinn’s musical approach relies upon providing functional and supportive bass lines, while still generating intense live energy and creative interaction.  This individualistic style has made him a much sought after voice in the South, his native Midwest and beyond.
