Tampa songwriter Will Quinlan releases new song 'Bluebirds' ahead of Friday concert

On “Bluebirds,” revered Bay area songwriter Will Quinlan and his studio partner Jim Blaisdell come together under a new moniker: American Dreaming.

The three-and-a-half-minute tune finds the bard continuing to add new sounds to his palette (is that a drum machine in the intro?) and moving towards straight-ahead indie-rock and pop.

Quinlan gets support from expat Tampeño songwriter Max Norton (in from London), plus Have Gun, Will Travel frontman Matt Burke who wields the banjo for this gig.

Tickets to see Will Quinlan's American Dreaming play Hooch and Hive in Tampa on Friday, July 5 are still available and start at $12.
