[Quinton Blair](http://www.quintonblair.com/) is an award-winning country/folk singer-songwriter, but he's also a fantastic conversationalist – something that is reflected in his personal, localized, storytelling songs.

Q hung out on the porch for some live performances and a great chat about songwriting, DIY, his new songs, appealing to a variety of audiences, and much more.
