"Michael Quinn and the Bourbon Kings’ lively folk-inflected pop number 'Emily' will one day be a huge hit, and those of us who had the opportunity to attend their shows in Phuket can then say, “We knew them when...”

— Marque A. Rome, The Phuket News

“What makes this Carnival so very unique is that there are 33 delegations being featured from the world over. It’s the brainchild of the CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Board, Alain St. Onge, who had a dream of finding the world’s most exceptional carnival acts and bringing them to one world stage in Africa. Some of the crowd-pleasing acts this year are Lima Calibo (Trinidad & Tobago,) Samba Brazil, Dezil & Team, Michael Quinn & the Bourbon Kings, (USA), delegations from China, India, Indonesia and Madagascar, and Notting Hill from the UK.”

— Travel Video News

“The organizers of the 2012 Carnival in Seychelles have now confirmed that Michael Quinn & the Bourbon Kings, well-known Country & Western Artists from the USA will be in Seychelles for the carnival. Alain St.Ange, the CEO of the Seychelles Tourism Board said that Country & Western Music would be a new addition to the melting pot of cultures carnival. “We wanted diversity and we wanted the world to meet in Seychelles for the carnival of carnivals. The 2012 edition of the carnival is achieving this mission” Alain St.Ange said.”

“ Michael Quinn and the Bourbon Kings new album "Whiskey Rebellion" rated one of the top 23 albums of the year by "Americana Rock Mix"!!!!! http://americanarockmix.com/2010/12/20/top-23-albums-of-2010/”

— Von, Americana Rock Mix

"The real strength of this album is how well Michael and his collection of adroit instrumentalists cover such a wide variety of Americana styles. In this day and age, it’s not all that unusual to find an unsigned band with a ton of talent. Nonetheless, this is a group with too much talent to stay under the radar too long. Consider getting a couple of tracks of Whiskey Rebellion so you can say you were listening to Michael Quinn & the Bourbon Kings back in the day." November 9, 2010

Jefferson Fietek hosts, free sushi by Sushi Tango, live burlesque and cabaret from Le Cirque Rouge..Quinn and the Virgin Suicides take the stage with their Pettyesque pop”

— Peter S Scholtes, City Pages

“Michael Quinn has been in the local scene for a long time....His solid seven song debut "sushi, sex, music", is the kind of straight-ahead folk-rock album sure to quickly find a place in the hearts of the local music cognoscenti"......Van Alstyne...Pulse of the Twin Cities, September 8th, 2004”

— Rob Van Alstyne, Pulse of the Twin Cities

"sushi, sex, music", features songs written during his time in Florida..they feel complete and polished..benefiting from the years he spent perfecting them live..TwinCities.com chose Virgin Suicides for inclusion on the compilation disc "The Audiophile's Guide to Music in the Twin Cities, Volume 1
