Short Bio

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.
