Bear Bottom Bar and GrillLive Music: Quinlan Valdez
Bear Bottom Bar and Grill features live music from Casper, Wyoming native Quinlan Valdez. His path as a musician began in 2010 after he watched Jalan Crossland perform for the ArtCore program in Casper, inspiring him to pick up the banjo, then the guitar, and to start writing his own material as he built a professional career. Listeners often hear echoes of Bob Dylan and Cat Stevens in his sound. His catalog includes two albums and an EP, and he has taken his songs to stages across Wyoming, shared bills with Jalan Crossland, and performed for ArtCore. Admirers describe his tuneful, sincere writing as poetic, while he keeps his focus on one thing... playing music.
