James Quintero
Bass Guitar, Vocals

James has performed music most of his life. Having grown up in a musical family of
ten, it was always there and covered a wide variety of styles. His father Reuben
Quintero is a highly noted jazz chord/melody style guitarist on the rare 7-string guitar.

Having played music ranging from classical, jazz, blues and rock on both bass and
guitar…and having played with several west-coast based country bands, James’
background made it a natural fit for the often-adventurous music of the Doo-Wahs.

Before joining the Doo-Wahs, James functioned as a lead technician for National
Security Systems, Inc. Previously, he spent many years as a Vice President and
consultant in the sporting goods marketing industry.

Although James continues with other personal business interests, music always
remains a big part of his life. His ongoing business interests include the Christmas
tree industry based in Ashland, OR and loudspeaker system design, manufacture and
repair.

Personally, James is an avid sportfisherman which has drawn him to his favorite
destinations of the Cayman Islands and New Zealand. Having played hockey, James
spent several years as an official for the National Hockey League as a replay/review
technician. His passion for high-tech Grand Prix road racing has made him a fiercely
loyal follower of the Champ Car World Series and Formula One.

James’ passion for Spanish classical guitar keeps him busy in quiet times. He says
“it’s in my blood”.

Born and raised in Long Beach, CA…it is still “home”.
