Bio

Doug Edwards is a relatively new and exciting artist rapidly gaining an audience through his signature song writing, smooth vocals, and endearing style of music. Doug’s musical approach of fusing together bits of folk, pop, acoustic and country music has been the key to the success of his debut EP released in 2008 which received a large amount of community radio play and sold well both here in Australia and in the United States. Doug’s music is less demographically inclined and more internationally readied for full throttle volume and recognition. Inspired by many great folk artists like Shawn Mullins, James Taylor, and John Denver, Doug began writing songs when he was 16. Now after a successful EP release, much community radio play, a swag of interviews, and having performed his music on the same stage and festival roster and stage as great Australian acts like Jon Stevens, Phil Emmanuel and The Black Sorrows and Busby Marou, Doug's music is attracting a lot of attention. Doug's performances are down to earth, personal, and original to an audience. Whilst listening to one of Doug’s sets it is difficult to not end up lost somewhere between the pop-styled hooks in his chorus lines and that beautiful sparkly, folk styled acoustic guitar that has become signature of a Doug Edwards acoustic performance. "Painted Pale", Doug's first album was released on May, the 1st, 2011 and by all early accounts is an absolute cracker of an album. The first single “Lost my Knack” has been played in a drive time commercial by Brisbane’s 98.9 FM. With the release of “Painted Pale”, Doug has been playing more gigs and taking this album and his music to more corners of the world. Jango online airplay has been solid and Doug has been featured on community radio stations as AMRAP artist of the month. Discography 1.
