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 innumerable concerts and festivals throughout North America. He recorded a CD in 2009 as a member of the band Tri titled: Among Friends/A-measg Chàirdean, and upon his move to Cape Breton in 2011, Doug celebrated with a solo album titled: 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." - Inverness Oran
Doug currently resides in Glendale, Cape Breton, with his wife Kaitlin and four children, performing violin at ceilidhs, square dances, and venues on Cape Breton Island and beyond. He is available as a band musician or solo performer.

Doug's Latest Album: A Step Back in Time

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 a couple of tracks. Doug’s friends Natalie Hass (cello) and Allan Dewar (piano) also generously share their musical gifts to make this CD possible. Click Below to purchase your copy of Doug's Album!
