Simply one of the best.  Doug is old school. He talks to his audiences like they are old friends, telling his stories about his life, loves, and musical heritage  that will keep you pinned down and enthralled before he whisks you away on a roller coaster ride of emotion with some seriously good, proper blues.

Multi award winning bluesman Doug, is a National Guitars of America Ambassador and its easy to see why, with his accomplished, easy, understated skills, picking tune after tune from a songbook of original classics.

A truly exceptional writer, his reputation transcends the blues, his songs have been recorded and featured by a host of world famous artists. His most famous association being with the tragic siren Eva Cassidy whose posthumous live compilation album release (2015) 'Nightbird' has sold gazillions. The beautiful eponymous title track was written for her by Doug. Doug retired the song from his own set upon her tragic death in 1998 aged just 33 years.

"Aside from being one of the finest guitar players in the business, MacLeod really connects with his audience. His sets are more than music. They are "homegrown lessons" in life and love. MacLeod is one of the finest songwriters, storytellers and performers in the blues. In a world intoxicated with electric-everything MacLeod is preserving a lost art... A must for any serious fan of the blues and any soul who needs the healing of the blues." - Sing Out.
