Doug Cox and Todd Butler are veterans of the Canadian music and entertainment scene.
Now, desperate to break into the "Big Time", they have joined forces! Having both ended up in Vancouver Island's Comox Valley, it was only a matter of time before these two old friends started playing together and what they discovered was a shared interest and love of the Blues, Swing, Satire, Folk and Roots/Traditional music.
They have been dazzling audiences--and confusing themselves--ever since with an irresistible musical feast of blues classics, crafty instrumentals, funny social satire and touching, tender ballads, served up with humour and humility!
Doug's mastery of the dobro and slide guitar along with Todd's witty songwriting and unique flat-picking style create a powerfully entertaining combination. Their show is a twisting, turning journey through a wide variety of musical landscapes yet remains firmly grounded in the warm, friendly sounds of acoustic instruments played by guys who love them. Except, of course, when they crank up the amps...!
Their first CD,
"Live
Blues", is just that; Live, no overdubs!
Joined by Phil Whipper on drums and Rick May on bass, Doug and Todd show their versatility with a selection of Vancouver Island club performances ranging from slow acoustic blues tunes to rockin' electric lap-steel and strat! Here's
