Marc Quiñones is a
percussionist, a longtime player in salsa music, a former member of the Southern rock group The Allman Brothers Band (1991–2014) and the Gregg Allman
Band. He is of Puerto Rican ancestry.
Born in
Latin music stars such as Tito Puente and co-founded a group named Los Rumberitos.[2] At the age of 17 he joined the salsa music band of Rafael de Jesús.[2][3]
Quiñones spent the next five years in salsa master
David Byrne's Latin music Rei Momo project.[2] In 1989 Quiñones joined the jazz fusion band Spyro Gyra where he played for two years.[2]
After a chance meeting with
Jai Johanny "Jaimoe" Johanson
; the general pattern was that Trucks was the timekeeper, Johanson added colors, and Quiñones established rhythms that the guitarists played against. His twenty-three year tenure with the band is the longest outside of the original members that survived into the 2000s.
When the Allman Brothers Band were not active, Quiñones played with various salsa bands and works as a session musician for albums (such as Marc Anthony's 2001 Libre), and creating music scores for television soundtracks, and commercials. Following the Allman Brothers Band's breakup at the end of 2014, Quiñones joined the Gregg Allman Band as well as Les Brers, a part time band led by original Allman Brothers band drummer Butch Trucks, that also consists of other Allman Brothers alumni.
Quiñones joined the Doobie Brothers as a touring percussionist in May 2018.[5]
