David Douglas

A recent transplant to the bay area, David Douglas has led bands and done his own solo work for the past 8 years around the midwest. His latest record, entitled "Those Aren't Weapons, They're My Shoes" is a genre spanning effort including explorations of country, jazz, reggae, punk, some avant garde crazinesss, and good old fashioned rock and roll. The songs are eleven different stories told by eleven different personae, ranging from the father of a new born to a terminally diagnosed patient.

According to Douglas: "The songs on this record hopefully reflect my passion for all styles of music, and it was a lot of fun writing from the different character's perspectives. These vignettes are all little insights into my splintered outlook on life"
