PASCO, WA| MAY 5, 2016: Pacific Northwest folk singer/songwriter Quinell[for fans of Noah Gundersen, William Fitzsimmons, Passenger] has been making a name for himself, captivating audiences with his soulful voice and gut-wrenching emotional songwriting and recently releasing a spine-tingling video for "Space to Breathe." Today, Quinell has partnered with AXS for the exclusive premiere of the second installment in his Village Hall Sessions, "You Are Mine." Directed by videographer Justin Frick and featuring violinist Erica Aamodt, the song tells a story of long-lasting love at first sight. Quinell tells the story behind the track here: "When I was 13yrs old, my Great Grandmother told me the story about how her and my Great Grandfather met. Both of their families had moved from the Ukraine to Saskatchewan Canada, where their story takes place. My Great Grandfather had bought a farm and one day while at the little country store, he heard that there was a "young lady from the old country" working there. Dating was a little different back then, as all he had to say was, "you're from the old country, so am I... we should get married". This song is their story, complete with living in a remodeled grain bin until they could build a house on their farm. When life was simple and love won out. " - Quinell

Named after the Bob Dylan song, "The Mighty Quinn," Pasco, WA's indie folk artist Quinell was destined to be a singer/songwriter. Inspired by the lyrical prowess of Dylan and drawing from influences like Noah Gundersen, Jack Johnson, and The Black Keys, Quinell combines heartfelt lyrics with catchy melodies in a genre-bending fashion that the audience can't help but sing along to. Quinell's music sends a message of hope and love, connecting to personal life experiences that the audience can relate to. Funding his musical career through commercial fishing trips in Alaska, Quinell employs the lifestyle and feel of the Pacific Northwest that translates through his music. After teaching High School for a year right out of University, Quinell was captivated by music's ability to put words to music and touch someone's life and decided to quit teaching, going on to self-fund his first album. In 2013, Quinell released his self-funded debut album 'Til We're Free, featuring "Hooked on a Feeling," which was a finalist for the International Songwriting Competition.
