Quenby & the West of Wayland Band

BIO:
Quenby has been playing, writing, recording and touring since 2007. She has played from LA to Houston and Santa Fe to Seattle for the better part of the past ten years both with her country band and as a solo act. She has two full-length albums to date and a growing number of singles recorded and available on streaming and digital services.
Quenby’s original music has been licensed to two films, “Doonby” starring John Schneider (Dukes of Hazzard) and “Deep in the Heart” starring Jon Gries (Napolean Dynamite) and has been chosen for the title track of another screenplay in development, “Falling Off Horses”. Her music can be found on Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon and all other streaming platforms under “Quenby and the West of Wayland Band” and on her website at www.quenbywowband.com.

Quenby was born and raised outside of Boston, MA with three brothers and an abundance of imagination. She moved to Los Angeles in `97 where she spent the next 17 years working in film and television, costuming and acting, and eventually found her place making music and touring her band. She now resides in Paradise Valley, Montana with her husband, fellow singer-songwriter, Sean Devine, and keeps up her writing and touring schedule.

When not on the road you can probably catch her acting at one of the two community theaters in town or on film. Look for her movie debut in an upcoming release, “Mending the Line” shot locally in Paradise Valley, starring Sinqua Walls and Brian Cox!

REVIEWS/WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING:
"If Sugarland and The Allman Brothers ever made love, their baby would sound like Quenby & the West of Wayland Band. Quenby sings as good as she looks, the guitars and strings keep you movin', and they have this authentic, "feel-good sound" so many mainstream bands lack. You'll want to crank up "Train Whistle" in your car, and slow dance forever to "Long Time Comin”... and if you're lucky enough to see them live, you'll keep coming back, again and again. I love this band!”
- J. Cyrus Smith, KNBC-TV, Los Angeles

“Train Whistle" has all the elements of a long lasting tune that lovingly stays in your head, fresh and easy. Quenby's voice is angelic and hypnotic, the lyrics simple but strangely powerful. A great hummable melody that has "HIT" written all over it. This is good stuff!
- Stephen Eich, Producer & Executive Director, Pasadena Playhouse

“Every time I add one of Q's songs to the station's playlist, my email box overflows with requests for more.” - Vinny Smith, HonkyTonkJunkie.com

“She has a nice way with her phrasing and it comes across beautifully on Train Whistle. The song is stunningly good.” -James Sutherland, Americanaok Radio

“She sounds like the lesbian love child of Carly Simon and Patsy Cline”
-Scott Streetman, Film Professional

"Quenby...sings to us knowingly about heartache, loves lost and gained, hard life on the road, and can often be heard channeling the forbears of country and western."

"Quenby's storytelling resonates of Bruce Springsteen back in Asbury Park."

"...the music shuffles to the same beat as it did with Bob Wills 50 years ago."

"Quenby's voice never disappoints. Her sweet sounding vocals on "I'm Too Old," and "How Far" surround me like a cyclone of bluebirds."
-Murphy Blake, FarWest Almanac

Nearly all of the twelve songs on the album suggest that you get up out of your seat and move move move. 'Ten Day Love Affair', 'I'm Too Old', and the albums only cover song 'Pour Me' would all be at home in the juke box of your local neighborhood bar. 'Long Time Comin', the albums title track, is a liltingly soft look back at love lost--complete with a lonesome as hell sounding harmonica and some nice baritone guitar work. This album works well in part because Quenby stays close to the traditional country format, and partly because of the quality of musicians she has gathered here.
-Jacob Elliott, Ten-Second Buzz

There's a quality to your voice that says to me you've been doing this a long time, old school country with a new country feel. I have a good feeling about your potential success! One break and you're there!

She has a vibe that you can't help but feel good about.
-Dennis Haskins, Actor
