"Miss Quincy isn't just another pretty face with a guitar. Did I mention she can sing? Her voice is a welcome change from the overproduced, synthesized female drones filling commercial airwaves these days. It has character and bite, like a good cigar."
- The Calgary Beacon

Miss Quincy does not fit the classic Singer/Songwriter mold. She plays guitar like she practices and sings songs like she means them. “Bringing a sense of the renegade women of the old West mixed with a modern independence of spirit, her extraordinary clear voice and well-crafted, memorable songs range through bluegrass and barroom blues, gypsy jazz, and something that is all of the above and yet something unique.” (Backroads Music, UK). Tipping her hip hat to earlier times and the rugged northern beauty that has been the backdrop of her life, Miss Quincy draws inspiration from the pioneering women who came before, the blues ladies of the 1930s, dirty guitar licks, and sweet gospel harmonies.

Miss Quincy is of a new breed of DIY musician who is fiercely independent and committed to a grassroots music approach. Performing solo, as a duo, and with a band, she has taken her Canadiana stylings across Canada and Europe playing festivals, bar rooms, street corners, and living rooms. Showing no signs of stopping or slowing down, 2011 will see Miss Quincy touring extensively throughout the UK, Europe, and Canada.

Miss Quincy's latest album, Your Mama Don't Like Me, is a testament to her grass roots gypsy blues spirit. The recording of the album took place in Miss Quincy's cabin in Northern BC during a cold snap where temperatures dropped below -40 degrees. If you listen closely you may just hear the crackling of a wood stove or the swish of a whiskey bottle. Your Mama Don’t Like Me has received acclaim both in Canada and abroad, recently charting in the top five Folk/Roots/Blues category in Exclaim! magazine. “This is an album that could easily slip into legend, like "The Campfire Tapes" (FATEA Magazine, UK)

"...actually captures a vibe and a mood, a moment in time that could not be captured … And I love it.”
– Craig Norris, CBC Radio 3
