Willie and the Poor Boys were formed in 1985 in the Poconos when three high school friends got together and started jamming and making up songs. These three friends, Willie Fisher, Gary Gravatt and Scott Lollis, were later joined by Joe Ecker and Rob Sawyer and soon thereafter they started playing in local bars and pubs in the Poconos, PA. The band was playing primarily Grateful Dead music, and it wasn’t long before they gained a following and started a unique and vibrant community seen. Everyone was going to see Willie and the Poor Boys. It was a tight-knit family of friends. Now some 40 years later, this family is still together. Someone said, “How cool would it be if the Poor Boys had a reunion gig... That would be awesome!” Well, that time has come!

26 Year old Quinn Sullivan is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, and guitarist who rose to prominence in the early 2000’s and continues to amaze audiences worldwide. Born and raised in New Bedford Massachusetts, Quinn grew up in a musical household listening to classic rock, jazz and blues. Quinn credits his early obsession with The Beatles as the impetus for him to pursue music as a career. He received his first guitar at the tender age of three and quickly demonstrated exceptional talent. He gained national attention with appearances on afternoon and late night television shows (Tonight Show, Ellen, Jimmy Kimmell, and Conan O Brian). In 2007, Quinn met music legend Buddy Guy, who invited him onstage and would later invite him to tour and record with him throughout the next decade.
Over the years, Quinn has evolved from a remarkable young talent into a mature, emotive artist known for blending blues, rock, and classic influences. His discography includes multiple albums, with his fifth release, "Salvation," recognized as his most personal work, exploring themes of loss, love, and resilience. He has been praised not only for his exceptional guitar skills but also for his songwriting, drawing inspiration from both his musical roots and his own life experiences.
Quinn’s personal journey profoundly influences his music and stage performance. His music reflects years of growth, resilience, and emotional depth shaped by life experiences including personal loss and soulful introspection. His recent albums explore themes of love, hardship, and redemption, which translate into performances full of honest emotion and at the same time full of raw energy and enthusiasm, making every concert not just a show but a personal and transformative experience.
