Doug here, corn-fed and Minnesota-bred. Born in the southwestern part of the state, I have spent the greatest portion of my life in a little town called Walnut Grove, which is about as close as Ive ever come to Laura Ingles Wilder of Little House on the Prairie fame. Im a composer-lyricist of what I try to call alternative rock. That begins to describe it, but you§ll have to listen to discover for yourself. I was raised on rock of the 70s and 80s, then graduated to heavy metal of the 80s and 90s. Now I§m becoming a balladeer or sorts, but the elements of my past are still there in my music. Prior to moving up the Twin Cities, I was with Brainfog, a band based in southwestern Minnesota. (You can check it out on iTunes if you'd like.) Anyway we made a decision to do only original songs, and I had a creative role in the majority of them. It was a great experience, and I got to work with some fabulously talented guys. Now with The Roxelders, cutting a new CD. check out Tropical Vacation and As Ever Be demo's demo.
