What's to say about this guy??
!Luke McQuillin... Plays lead and rhythmn guitar and writes a lot of the music for TDQ as well as 5:01. On those lucky days, he spits ouf awesome guitar solos and tasteful color notes and chords.
Starting out on the tenor guitar in middle school, Luke switched to tenor sax by the time he was in high school. However, after moving to New York City and listening to such greats as Frank Zappa, The Lovin Spoonful, and Cream, there was no turning back with him wanting to play the guitar. He quickly traded in his sax for an electric 6-string guitar (Hagstrum, I think) and the rest is history. He has been playing professionally off-and-on for more than 40 years (you know, thot makes on feel a little old!). His roots are in rock-n-roll, rockin’ country, R & B & Jazz. Eric Clapton is his all-time favorite guitar player with his melodic style and sweet singing tones. However, Luke's "noodlings" have gotten him in trouble more than once and likes to think that he has everything in common with Eric (Hey! We all have fantasies, ya know!). He gets this notion of himself as a part of a horn section playing lines behind the melody.
He has appeared with such luminaries as Bonnie Raitt, Little Feat, Emmy Lou Harris, Catfish Hodge, Allman Brothers, and others. He has lived on Vashon for the past 8 years and appears in various bands and venues on-island.
