Lone Quail writes songs about lost places, stray chases, and the scrappy resolve it takes to keep going when the path ahead isn't clear. While traces of doo-wop, experimental pop, and desert-swept psychedelia wend their way through the music at times, her core inspiration is shaped by iconic roots artists such as Townes Van Zandt, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young, Freddy Fender, and Vic Chesnutt. She also draws heavily from the pioneers of the early alt-country scene, like Cowboy Junkies, Freakwater, and Giant Sand, lending her songs a quiet edginess and subterranean power. While Lone Quail often performs solo, her full band adds an exciting dimension to the live show, infusing her emotionally rich songs with a raw, rock-inflected energy. LQ was raised in the woods of northern New Hampshire, made homes for herself all over the world, and now holes up in Santa Barbara, California.
