Doug Young's debut CD, Laurel Mill, features original tunes and arrangements for solo acoustic instrumental guitar. Reviews say: "The guitar work is superb...", "one of the best self-produced initial efforts I have come across", "you'll feel as if you're enjoying a private performance"
I've played guitar since I was a teenager. Rock and jazz at first, mostly in bands. Now I enjoy making music that I can produce entirely by myself, solo acoustic compositions and arrangements.
I try to play as often as I can in the Bay Area. I host a regular monthly show at Mission City Coffee Roasting Company, and have been joined by Teja Gerken, Steve Baughman, Thomas Leeb, Neil Hogan, and many more.
Anyone who plays acoustic fingerstyle guitar. I've learned from Laurence Juber, Alex de Grassi, John Renbourn, Pat Kirtley, Stephen Bennett, and many more.
I especially enjoy playing guitars made by individual luthiers. I can usually be found playing my Kevin Ryan, Kathy Wingert , or Ed Claxton guitars.
