Quinton Blair, seven time Manitoba Country Music Association Award winner to headline
The Miami Fall Social (commemorating the Miami Fun and Fiddle Festival) will be held on Oct. 21 from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. at the Miami Community Hall.
And this year, country artist Quinton Blair is providing the entertainment. Blair is a Manitoba-based artist heavily influenced by country music’s storytelling and songwriting traditions.
He is a four-time Manitoba Country Music Association Roots Artist of the Year and a two-time MCMA Male Artist of the Year. He also garnered himself Songwriter of the Year for the song 20 Dollar Bottle, a collaboration written with Jason Blaine.
“The country music family is so fantastic in this country, and it’s an honour to have your peers recognize all the hard work and energy that goes into every song and every show,” said Quinton Blair.
Blair has released five singles to Canadian radio, granting him national exposure to many markets across Canada, with a loyal Prairie following. His mainstream crossover appeal and his ability to execute an engaging live performance have presented Blair with many opportunities to share the stage with the likes of Corb Lund, Charlie Major, Terri Clark, High Valley and many more, along with playing main stage festivals, and headline shows across the Prairies.
From tear-jerkers to boot scooters, Blair has an incredible handle on the country music songbook and an uncanny ability to read a crowd and bring them to the dancefloor. Blair doesn’t just play country music; country is in his blood.
Check out Quinton Blair at the Miami Community Hall on Oct. 21 for what is projected to be a fantastic night at the Miami Fall Social. Tickets are $20 each and can be purchased in Miami or by e-transfer to miamirecandplay@gmail.com
