Albums:
Between best describes Edmond’s music and is the operative word in the title of his album “Between the Shadows and the Light”. The listener will “…find Doug betwixt a number of genres and influences. While his raspy pipes and folksy delivery suggest he's spent quality time with Dylan's catalogue (the cover of It's All Over Now, Baby Blue helps, too), some jazzy pop and burbling guitars move things in a Knopfleresque direction -- while the mellow saxophone and soulful elements take a detour to Van Morrison's realm. Rather than being neither here nor there, Edmond makes between seem like the right place to be.” During live performances, the group slides easily from heartfelt personal ballads to lively root-jazz numbers.

His follow up critically acclaimed Xmas release Starry Nights includes tracks by members of his five piece band as well as Sweet Alibi and Lindsey White. “This is a group of musicians using their talents to make Christmas music a little bit better and a lot more interesting”.

Skipping Stones is his third album produced by Juno award winner Mitch Dorge of Crash Test Dummies fame. The new tunes reflect personal experiences that connect with listeners demonstrating a soulful approach to song writing and a true understanding of the relationship of his audience. Doug’s lyrics and singing talent continues to draw in his audience be it a small intimate lounge or a large outdoor festival stage. Check out his latest video of the song "Logan Street" off the Skipping Stones album.
Doug’s 4th Album Life is Strange will be released this coming October/November of 2023. This album represents a new direction with the addition of strings by Richard Moody and back up vocals by Sweet Alibi and Renee Delaurier-Jones. The new direction was reflected the production word of Mitch Dorge and contributions by members of the band.
