Josie Quick: Violin and Mandolin

 Josie's violin training began with classical violin lessons, but as a teenager she wanted to find a way to play other styles of music. As with most teenagers, her listening choice was rock and roll, but there she never heard violin playing. She dabbled in guitar and electric bass, but it just didn't have the allure that the violin had. The pivotal moment came when she caught the Doobie Brothers on TV and heard "Black Water." That's when the realization began that there are no boundaries to violin playing. This continued when she arrived at the University of Denver and became introduced to the music of Jean Luc-Ponty and Stephane Grappelli
Josie's improvisational style is a combination of the influences from her classical and jazz training. Another strong influence Josie brings to Perpetual Motion is the interplay and sensitivity of chamber music. She is a founding member of the Frontera String Quartet. Josie is a private instructor in traditional and Suzuki violin, and has taught jazz and fiddle in addition to classical repertoire.
