Born in Aubrey, Texas, Doug moved to Bendigo with his Australian wife and their young son (and since then they have welcomed a second son). Whilst only taking front of stage as a lead singer six years ago, Doug’s music career began almost 20 years ago, performing primarily as a drummer and backing vocalist for numerous bands in Texas. He also spent time in Nashville performing and doing studio session work as a drummer and backing vocalist. This afforded him many memorable experiences, including performing on the Grand Ole Opry twice, opening for George Jones with Billy Yates, and opening for the likes of Rascal Flatts, Travis Tritt and Charlie Robison in Texas.
