Biography
Tim and Renee Quail are husband and wife, musicians, composers and sound engineers. They were introduced to each other by mutual friends in February, 2002 and married in October 2006. Their mutual love for music and the recording arts inspired them to build their own recording studio, for recording of their own original music and that of friends and various bands that they were in. The results were so great, word got around and demand for their services grew. Quail Studios officially opened for business in January, 2007.
Although their personal writing styles run the gamut from rock ballads to rock arena, the Quails have found a way to meld their talents into rock creations both unique and inspired. They are currently working on a full length CD of their work that they expect to have completed by Spring 2010.
