On The Cover

Our original plan was to shoot Mr. Quaid in his dressing room backstage at The Opry before his performance. Ultimately, he decided that his home would be much less hectic. Plus, we had the bonus of having sweet little Peaches on set throughout as a mascot!

THE VIBE

Easy and Casual. A skeleton crew without extras. Lots of strumming happened throughout the day on his custom Jackson Browne acoustic. Gibson is his favorite and here’s the next best thing to having his original –

1934 JUMBO from the CUSTOM SHOP HISTORIC COLLECTION available at gibson.com

We also got the bonus of a piano performance (a throwback from his Jerry Lee Lewis role), which was wildly entertaining and beyond impressive. The talent! (watch for live videos of his playing on our platforms).

LOW KEY LOOK

DQ loved the designer apparel and especially the RRL & Company button-ups from their Edgehill store. He already had a couple (same style/different colors) in his closet. He wanted to wear the watch that Omega gifted to him (he’s loyal like that). His quirky shoes and socks were the best surprise of the day.

He’s not a glam guy (at all) - but we brought in Neil (grooming genius) for a touch of polish. All he requested - blue tinted eyedrops (a tough find). A shot of IGK Beach Club Texture in his super thick hair, swipes of Laura Mercier Primer, Drunk Elephant lip balm, and light dabs of MAC’s Studio Fix Correct and Conceal and he was good to go. The fastest shoot prep ever!
