Doug, a seasoned professional from Los Altos, Ca., began his distinguished career playing Bay Area clubs from San Francisco to Monterey. He was eventually tapped by an L.A. producer and immediately relocated to Malibu, Ca. where he performed and also recorded at THE "ShangriLa Ranch" Recording Studio.
In April,
2003, Doug was recruited by James Armstrong for a two week stint through
five mid-western states, playing at top venues in 10 cities. The tour
received warm reviews from critics in Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit,
and other cities. Two of those gigs were especially memorable for
Doug; "Buddy Guy's Legends", where "the man" himself joined the enthusiastic
audience for an evening of Blues, and The Marshall Civic Auditorium,
where the band played two sold-out shows. Doug is a superb bassist
with serious groove. That, along with his creative influences and
technique would be an essential fabric to any noteworthy band he chose
to be a part of.
In July of 2004, while visiting his brother in Oregon, Doug met Lee Barker of Barker Musical Instruments, Redmond, OR. and got a "hands-on" introduction to the "Barker Vertical Bass". The two of them spoke for hours on that first day, just talking and exchanging ideas, a day Doug will always remember. "Lee is an incredible human being, a man of true vision, I'm honored to call him my friend." Doug's relationship with Lee and the entire "Barker Family" has remained rock-solid ever since, Doug has also done numerous NAMM shows demonstrating the Barker Bass.
