They say that an original band needs quite a bit of luck and timing to succeed these days - that having the right people see just the right performance is imperative. Hopefully, thats not true as the members of Quest Theory feel they may have used up their share of luck when these driven musicians from different backgrounds and different schools of thought found each other.
The group has been developing their blend of eccentric rhythms, rich harmonies, and melodic instrumentation. They have come a long way since their first gigs in friends and families backyards. Becoming regulars on the college, festival and shore circuits, as well as frequenting hidden treasures like The Stanhope House (north Jersey), Lion's Den (NYC), Frog and Peach (San Luis Obispo,Ca), Smiley's (Bolinas, CA) and mainstays like The Stone Pony (Asbury Park, NJ), Mexicali Blues (Teaneck, NJ), 14 Below (Santa Monica California), 4th Street Tavern (San Rafael, Ca) and clubs throughout the USVI, the band is perpetually stretching its boundaries.
Feeding off years of varied musical experience, their sound is both unique and familiar, and is receiving an enthusiastic response from a diverse audience. A progressive mix of reggae, roots rock, and bluegrass, the band covers a wide spectrum from structured compositions to unbridled improvisation. Whether playing for crowds back dropped by the waves of the Atlantic, the Pacific, trees and mountains at the festivals, or smoke filled rooms of the clubs, Quest Theory creates a musical experience that entertains and inspires. After a recent gig, the booking agent was overheard to say, I got a lot more than I expected - these guys rock. Their vibe and fans are great...
The band is now a regular at the club.
