Matt Douglass is a singer/songwriter/guitarist from the Mid-Atlantic. The songs featured on his first two CDs offer up distinctive lyrics and vocals on par with first rate bands assembled for each release. Playing lead guitar/mandolin with past bands from country to roots rock and soul, Douglass displays some of those influences on his debut CD, No Stone Unturned, which was composed in Dallas, TX and recorded in Baltimore MD.The second CD Big Lucky,features confessional songs of life, love, and perseverance that hit home. Big Lucky finds Douglass deftly crisscrossing genre borders through a travelogue of mid-tempo guitar driven rockers to country and blues.
Douglass' beginnings were with a touring rock/country band in the early 80's, focusing on the musical style of Gram Parsons/EmmyLou Harris/Rodney Crowell , and sharing the stage w/Vassar Clements, Pure Prairie League, Michael Murphey, and Commander Cody. After that were stints in everything from a British Invasion rock band, to a reggae rock band to an American rock n' soul band, before deciding to go on his own.
