A multi-instrumentalist, showman, and inventor with a dash of mad scientist, Quintron's creativity knows no bounds. His music ranges from the experimental electronics and noise of 1994's I.F. 001-011 to the blend of garage rock, funk, R&B, and New Orleans party music known as "Swamp-Tech" of 1998's These Hands of Mine and 2003's Are You Ready for an Organ Solo? He's frequently joined by Miss Pussycat , whose vocals, percussion, and puppet shows are as integral to Quintron's dynamic live experience as his customized Hammond B-3 and the Drum Buddy, a light-activated analog synthesizer of his own creation. As an organist, he draws inspiration from the stylings ofRaymond Scottand Jimmy Smith. He has played with artists ranging from Oblivionson 2000's gospel-tinged Play 9 Songs with Mr. Quintron to Steve Riley & The Mamou Playboyson 2012's Grammy-nominated Grand Isle.
