Quinn Records TM is an independent record label, music distributor, and music publisher headquartered in St. Louis, Missouri. The label was founded in 1971 and has operated independently for more than 55 years under the motto “ Where The Sound of Blues,Gospel,Jazz,and — Soul Music Is Made! Since 1971.” Quinn Records TM signs and develops artists, releases and distributes recordings in physical and digital formats, publishes the Boogie City Music Newsletter, and broadcasts QRTM Radio worldwide.

Quinn Records TM releases authentic American roots music in four core genres:

• Blues — St. Louis blues, Delta blues, Chicago blues, Kansas City blues, and roots blues
• Gospel — choirs, quartet gospel, hymns, and testimony music
• Jazz — classic standards, straight-ahead jazz, modern jazz, and late-night jazz
• Soul — deep soul, funk, and classic R&B

The label deliberately avoids trend-driven pop production in favor of traditional recordings that reflect the living St. Louis blues lineage.

Quinn Records TM is based in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. St. Louis sits at the center of the blues corridor between the Mississippi Delta and Chicago, and the label's catalog and radio programming are built around preserving that regional sound.

Yes. Quinn Records TM has been fully independent since 1971 — more than 55 years without major-label ownership. The label handles its own A&R, recording, distribution, publishing, radio promotion, and direct-to-fan sales.

Quinn Records TM sells music in four formats: compact discs (CDs), cassette tapes, vinyl records, and digital downloads. Individual digital downloads start at $0.99. Orders of $89.99 or more ship free.

You can order directly from the label in three ways:

• Online store — browse releases and check out with a card or PayPal
• Order form — select titles, formats, and quantities, then pay online through PayPal
• Mail order — print the order form and mail it with a check or money order

Buying direct sends the largest share of each sale back to the artists and the label rather than to a third-party platform.
