About Doug
Doug has studied and performed Cape Breton fiddle for most of his life, inspired from toddlerhood by his grandfather, legendary fiddler Bill Lamey. Since then, Doug has performed at many concerts and festivals throughout North America. He recorded a CD in 2009 as a member of the band Tri (“Among Friends/A-measg Chàirdean”), and upon his move to Cape Breton in 2011, Doug celebrated with a solo album, "A Step Back in Time." Doug's playing has a solid rhythmic beat that’s the key to the great Cape Breton-style fiddling, and his love of the music clearly shines through.
Doug currently resides in Glendale, Cape Breton, with his wife Kaitlin and three children, playing his violin at ceilidhs, various kitchens, and venues across the island. He is available as a band musician or solo performer.

Doug's Latest Album: A Step Back in Time
Recorded at the Celtic Music Center in Judique, Cape Breton, with family and friends, "A Step Back in Time" is both a tour-de-force of classic Cape Breton fiddling and a loving musical memoir of Doug's late grandfather Bill Lamey, who was himself a great fiddling legend. Take a step back in time with Doug and his family including guitarist Sandy MacDonald, pianist Johnny MacDonald, Gaelic singer Jeff MacDonald, and Doug's wife, Kaitlin MacDonald Lamey, who plays piano on two tracks. Doug’s friends Natalie Hass (cello) and Allan Dewar (piano) also generously share their musical gifts to make this CD possible.
