Known for his powerful voice, Doug has captivated audiences through his dynamic performances with bands Broken Halo and Soapbox, and has written and released two albums and an EP, toured Western Canada, and played headlining shows and festivals.

His vocal performance on YouTuber  samuraiguitarist’s cover of “Pinball Wizard”  garnered accolades from The Who themselves, and he has shared the stage with world-renowned artists including Heart, The Trews, The Tea Party, Sum 41, ZZ Top and more.
