Spent most of the 90s in an oldies do-wop trio.
Did classic rock in a dance band in the early 2000s.
Rockabilly oldies with my upright bass in a '50s style trio 2010-1016
Playing in a duo on acoustic bass since 2018Have you performed in front of an audience?These recordings were recorded at home on a Zoom 12-track digital recorder. On some songs I play all the instruments and sing all the vocal parts. Two of them are collaborations with friends.
These home recordings are mostly for my own entertainment, and friends and family. I really have fun singing big "gang choruses" with a whole bunch of Dougs on vocal.
