From there he went on to be a Soloist at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago, singing the High Mass each Sunday. A triple Major, Quintin gained three Degrees from Loyola University in Chicago, Broadcasting, Journalism, and Musical Theatre. He spent his college years adding Dozens of Musicals to his resume’. He became a regular at the Baja Beach Club’s dueling piano bar in Chicago, which led to his becoming the host at “Who’s Next†a pioneering Karaoke Bar in Downtown Chicago. A pianist for 30 years, Quintin picked up the guitar in early 2003, hit the ground running and hasn’t looked back. A voracious learner, Quintin spends 3 hours a day with his guitar in his never ending quest for mastery, and is currently a member in good standing with the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago. Quintin is thrilled to be performing with the unbelievable group of musicians that make up The Quintin Marx Band, and, each time he sets foot on stage with them, he lives his dream. Quintin is married to his Best Friend and soul mate Michele Marx and they have four awesome kids, Kelsey, Quintin II, Camryn, and Audrey, as well as two cocker spaniels, Claudine and Gigi. Quintin and his Family currently reside in Lake Forest, IL
