Known around the world for his impressive acting credentials, including his portrayal of music legend Jerry Lee Lewis in the biopic film "Great Balls of Fire," Quaid is also a talented singer-songwriter who has been performing with his band around the country for years, opening for the likes of Styx, Buddy Guy and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Quaid has assembled an exceptional band of seasoned musicians who, while having top-notch credentials of their own, blend together perfectly as band mates.
Led by Jamie James (former RSO recording artists of the Kingbee's), whose 1980 hit "My Mistake" is still among the finest songs of the neo-rockabilly era, the band dubbed The Sharks also features Tom Slick (bass), drummer Tom Walsh (ex-Spyro Gyra, Tina Turner, Joe Cocker), and former Joe Cocker keyboardist Ken Stange. The group recently released a new album, "DQ and the Sharks Live."
