At the heart of Canada, Quinton Blair stands as a true embodiment of country music’s spirit. When he’s not electrifying audiences with his boot-stompin’ tunes, you can find him in the roping pen or leading horseback expeditions through Manitoba’s rugged wilderness—reflecting his deep-rooted connection to nature.
Blair’s accolades are a testament to his talent and dedication, including the 2023 Manitoba Country Music Association Fans Choice Award, four-time MCMA Roots Artist of the Year, four-time MCMA Male Artist of the Year, and Songwriter of the Year for his collaboration with Jason Blaine on the hit “20 Dollar Bottle.” “The country music family in this country is so fantastic, and it’s an honour to have your peers recognize the hard work that goes into every song and show,” says Blair of his multiple awards.
Having released five singles to Canadian radio, Quinton Blair has garnered national attention, with a devoted following across the Prairie provinces. In 2023, he made waves from BC to PEI, including an energetic tour supporting Tim and the Glory Boys. Blair has shared stages with some of the country’s biggest names, including Corb Lund, Charlie Major, Terri Clark, and High Valley. His music, deeply influenced by legends like Dwight Yoakam, Alan Jackson, and Garth Brooks, channels the fiddle-driven, dancehall country of the ’90s.
Whether performing for intimate crowds or thousands of fans, Blair’s dynamic presence has earned him spots at major events like Dauphin Country Fest, the Calgary Stampede, and numerous rodeos and festivals across the Prairies. With his talent for reading a crowd, Blair brings a range of emotions—from heartfelt ballads to high-energy, boot-scooting anthems—guaranteeing a memorable experience every time. For Quinton, country music isn’t just a genre—it’s in his blood.
With new music on the horizon, the buzz around Blair’s next moves is palpable, and country music fans are eagerly awaiting what he will bring next.
