Doug MacLeod

Doug MacLeod is known for his superb songwriting, guitar wizardry, warm soulful vocals, wit and unforgettable live performances. At the heart of a Doug MacLeod performance is his knack for storytelling, bringing characters - from the faceless to the legendary - to strikingly real life. Doug is a multiple Blues Music Award winner, including the 2020 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Artist Of The Year and the 2018 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Album Of The Year for 'Break The Chain', and a nominee for the 2021 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Artist Of The Year.

His album with producer Jim Gaines was released in 2021.

In 101 Blues Guitar Essentials, Doug passes on the foundations of his craft - the grooves, techniques and feel that underpin authentic acoustic blues guitar - so you can build a real vocabulary on the instrument and start telling your own stories through it.
