Since his days of performing in the Boston subways in the early 1990s, Doug Wood has earned the status as one of the premier independent acoustic performers in the country. Doug was voted by campuses nationwide as the “Best Instrumentalist” (CampusAwards.com) and “2005 Best Music Performance” finalist (Campus Activities Magazine). Doug was most recently nominated for “2007 BEST GUITARIST” by the Free Times and 2008 “Best Of” in the acoustic category by Colorado Public Radio (KUNC). Doug’s instrumental music can shift from a sweet solo fingerstyle guitar piece to a composition looping energetic world rhythms with various percussion instruments. He connects well with his audience, whether it’s through his musicianship, tales of the road, or simply his wry sense of humor. Doug has appeared live on National Public Radio shows Echoes and River City Folk, WVIZ arts program Applause, and his CDs have been featured on over 700 stations nationwide. Currently Doug is touring in support of his new CD DREAMCATCHER, which features renowned musicians Dale Peters (from the James Gang), Jamey Haddad (Paul Simon’s & Sting’s percussionist), Tracy Silverman (Windham Hill violinist), and long-time bass phenom Darren Frate (from Watts Gnu). Frate reunites with Wood for the 20th anniversary of Watts Gnu. http://modernartsandmusic.com/
