“There is nothing I can show you that you can’t figure out on your own. I’ll just show it to you faster. Come have fun and learn guitar with me.”

Doug is well known for being one of the best guitar players around. Countless years of playing the guitar, solo and with many local bands, have helped Doug to deliver the mechanical facet of mastering the fretboard. Doug is very conscious of each of his student’s need to find their own niche.

SONS OF THE NEVER WRONGsons2

Sons of the Never Wrong are a folk trio from Chicago made up of Bruce Roper, Deborah Lader, and Sue Demel. The band has been creating original “turbo-charged folk music” for 15 years to a cult-like national following. With their different take on three part harmony on top of witty, whimsical songs, Sons’ style springs from a tradition you’d swear you’ve heard, but this just ain’t your grandpop’s folk music.

The Son’s 5 CD releases have brought them stunning national and international reviews as well as extensive radio-play. It is their live performances though that win the audience’s hearts. The group can barely stand still on stage and insta-choreography results in a non-stop show of stories, dancing, and odd-ball humor. Yet it is when the three step up to the mic and belt out one of their many gorgeously- arranged songs, that you know you are in for something extra special.

A kind of Twin Peaks version of Peter, Paul and Mary, the songs are wacky, original & uplifting, combining exquisite vocal harmonies which spill and spiral all over the place, glorious melodies and…er… unique lyrical perspective

Tickets $25
