Album Notes

Woodside Quinn, a Cleveland based acoustic rock band, has come a long way since their inception in November of 1999. After finding the fifth and final member, Brendan Breen Combes, via an Internet music site in October of 1999, the band moved forward writing material, rehearsing, and performing live. This rigorous schedule of constant rehearsing and live performances allowed the band to begin recording their debut album after only 9 months of playing together. Almost one year to the day after meeting, the band released their debut CD, The Cleveland Mint, to solid reviews from fans and critics alike.

Woodside Quinn is rooted in pop driven, acoustic songs, but somewhere along the way, they have transformed these simple acoustic songs into intricate musical arrangements. Each musician adds a crafted part to each song: Chad Kellogg breathes energy through his creative drum beats, Aaron Stanford keeps the band in line with his steady bass lines, Brendan Breen Combes plays rhythm guitar which compliments his vocal melodies, Scott Griffin adds complex saxophone lines, and Eric Zint rounds out the group with catchy rifts on both lead guitar and piano. This versatility makes every Woodside Quinn show an adventure and allows the band to create various musical arrangements throughout a single performance.

Woodside Quinn is currently touring in support of their debut release, The Cleveland Mint.
