For the past ten weeks, the Mighty SONG Writers video series from Philadelphia nonprofit Mighty Writers and media partner Literary Hub has showcased singer-songwriters across genres playing their songs and answering questions about their music.

This week’s episode of Mighty SONG Writers comes from AAA radio chart-topping indie-folk artist Matt Quinn of Mt. Joy. In his video, Quinn covers the Grateful Dead’s “Dire Wolf,” explaining that that song’s storytelling drove him to become a songwriter, and plays one of his own songs that was inspired by Jerry Garcia. Quinn also thanks a formative English teacher, passes on songwriting advice that’s helped him, and explains why John Prine should be the second musician to win the Nobel Prize.
