Album Notes

Eileen Quinn - sailor, songwriter and former mermaid - has spent the past five years cruising the eastern seaboard and circling the Caribbean.

Eileen's original songs describe, with humor and insight, the ups and downs of bluewater cruising.

With the release of Degrees Of Deviation, her second recording, Quinn has firmly established herself as the creator of a new musical genre, affectionately dubbed as "bluewater".

"That's what influences me most, and I can't think of a better way to describe the rhythms and melodies that result," she says.

Order your own copy of Degrees Of Deviation to experience how "Quinn writes and sings songs about sailing that, often in the same verse, bring tears and laughter to her audiences" and why she "now has a place of honor on the shelves of almost every cruiser who has heard her perform, right next to Jimmy Buffett." (quotes from BOAT/U.S. Magazine)

Perfect cruising CD
author: Mike S/V Ambiance
Eileen's lyrics really hit home, the good and the bad, and why we love sailing. I heard Eileen sing in the Bahamas, and now whenever I listen to her CD I want to quit my job, sell my house in New England, move on to my boat and live the life she sings about.

These songs are wonderful!
author: Kathy Parsons
This is another great CD by Eileen Quinn. The lyrics are clever, insightful, funny. The arrangements are super - bluesy, folksy, a little bit of everything. I first heard Eileen perform in Honduras at the Bay Islands sailing regatta (surely the inspiration for the song “Gotta Regatta”!) If you like to sail and travel, you will definitely feel that Eileen is writing your songs. I highly recommend this CD. And if you ever get a chance to hear her perform, don’t pass it up!

Unique. I like acoustic guitar and author's voice. Subject matter

Heard it on TANANAREVE, Treasure Cay, Abaco. Perfect listening room. Interestingly, I am a ham and own a home in the Bahamas. Radio widow was great. I liked your voice and the acoustic guitar.
