Gregory Douglass is an internationally renowned independent musician with eight critically acclaimed albums and a multitude of digital singles & music videos. His recent spotlight on NPR's "Morning Edition" has coined him "one of New England's best-kept secrets." Douglass has sold over 75,000 songs digitally on his own and his videos have amounted to over 600,000 views on Youtube alone. His music videos have charted numerous times on MTV Network's LOGO TV and his newest single "Naysayer" is slated to air on MTV's upcoming "World Of Jenks" series. Douglass was a finalist in the 2011 Mountain Stage NewSong Competition and won Yobi.tv's "New Stage" competition, an original web series starring Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino.
Douglass' evocative, alternative sound "channels everyone from Stevie Wonder to Fiona Apple in a way that's terrifyingly mature for someone so young" according to Instinct Magazine. Douglass has shared the stage with artists like They Might Be Giants, Shawn Colvin, The Weepies, Jason Mraz, Regina Spektor and Margaret Cho. Douglass' 2009 release BATTLER features duets with friends and fellow Vermonters Grace Potter (Grace Potter & The Nocturnals/ Hollywood Records) and Anais Mitchell (Righteous Babe Records) and he is currently touring in support of his latest release, LUCID, a dream-themed concept album.
From its initial haunting lullaby, “The Night”, LUCID navigates the listener through a personal journey of unsettling dreams. Douglass states, “In my personal experiences, dreams have been a vital part of self-awareness so I wanted to set ‘a night in the dreams of Gregory Douglass’ to music. This album is the result and it has been a labor of love.” The richly layered harmonies and electronic sounds of artists like Imogen Heap and Death Cab For Cutie merge with Douglass' longtime comparisons to artists like Jeff Buckley and Tori Amos in his latest offering.
