DOUG MacLEOD (California) - one of the last remaining Bluesmen who learned from the old masters, lived the music, survived the life. He’s known for his superb songwriting, guitar wizardry, warm soulful vocals, wit, and unforgettable live performances. MacLeod really connects with his audience. His sets are more than music. They are "homegrown lessons" in life and love.

In his CD, Where I Been, Doug MacLeod has produced a montage of fascinating stories that are insightful, introspective, entertaining and then some. The listener gets the immediate sense that this music comes from one who has a strong emotional and sentimental attachment to the themes or from one who has lived the life he sings about. Mr. MacLeod uses his unusual style of acoustic guitar playing to accentuate his remarkable story telling so much so that it seems that the guitar is an integral part of the tale.
