"I am completely honored and excited to have won,” said Erwin, singer-songwriter based in Nashville, TN, after being announced as the competition’s grand prize winner.  “I didn't expect it at all. I am so grateful to everyone who voted for me as well as JanSport for putting this together.”

"It was great to have Quinn Erwin, the winner of this year's Battle of the Bands, perform at Forecastle,” said JK McKnight, producer of The Forecastle Festival. “His style and skills fit the diverse musical palette we strive to showcase at Forecastle, and he represents one of our most loyal sister cities, Nashville, TN.”

Writing and performing since 1998, Erwin continues to captivate his audiences, creating and perfecting an original sound that brings a new voice to modern music. In 2009 Erwin released his first EP, A New Day, and is now in the studio working on his latest project, A Million Miles Away.
