Originally from the mountains of west Texas, Doug Moreland settled down in Austin at the turn of the millennium as a fiddler, songwriter, and woodcarver! Being the eldest son of a colorful wainwright, blacksmith, and fiddle-playing ranch hand, Doug eagerly left his nest in Fort Davis TX in 1992 in pursuit of a musical degree, setting the stage for a short stint as a fiddler and funny sideman for dinner theater entertainment in Ruidoso NM. He then set out to tour the country with various acts, living in Phoenix AZ, Dallas TX, and Nashville TN, eventually settling back in Texas in 1999 to write his own songs and front his own band. But instead of the band, he found it much easier to keep up with only his singing sidekick Holly (or Holly-peño, a black and white McNab/Border Collie dog). This solo, comical music performance, with the dog as his finale, overshadowed his songwriting abilities and garnered him little respect on the Texas music scene, so in 2003 Doug based himself in Austin TX and put that full band together, gradually developing it into a unique, western, swing band with his wit and charm playing along with the instrumentation of twin fiddles, mandolin, and the upright bass fiddle. 

And amidst his meanderings, Doug discovered a financial & promotional spur for his musical career through chainsaw carving! He picked up the saw in 1998, and sold his first piece the moment he finished carving it! Self-taught, with a bit of background whittling small pieces as a child alongside his father, Doug advanced quickly with a keen grasp of proportion and a remarkable knack for caricature. And like his music, Doug has customized his art to his own unique fashion.

This guy is great, Just a good old country boy trying to make a living. Go to the River Road Icehouse and you can see him. He may not be playing, but he will show you how to drink beer.

I met Doug in Nashville a couple of years ago. He is quite an entertainer and so handsome, his pictures on the website are far inferior to his " in person" looks. He is a legend in the making.

We have listened to Doug Moreland's CDs everyday for the past 4 months and we still die laughing everytime we hear it. We also enjoy going out to Rail Road BBQ every couple of Wednesdays to hear him. Our week is just not the same without getting the chance to hear him. If you go see him live or listen to his live album he is sure to make you laugh...I guarantee it. P.S. Holly is great too!!

Enough can't be said for Doug's music. He just tells it like it is. We actually listen to Doug here at work and DAMN- do Mondays act like Fridays now. We've got LIVE and 10 Beers From Now- just the funniest stuff I think I"ve ever heard. More more more... needs to make the 'really close to Houston' swing so we can enjoy him out here more often! TWO THUMBS UP!!

This has got to be the funniest album I have ever heard. If you liked doug's first two CD's this one is ten times funnier, as it captures Doug in his most natural enviromet, iniberated. If you have taste and class and sophistication donot purchase this CD, if you think all the people with pre-mentioned characteristics are a little to up-tight o enjoy life then buy this album and prepare to laugh your ass off.

All I can say about Doug Moreland is that it only took me one time to hear him and I was already a fan. His songs are so funny, true, and they all contain nice catchy tunes. I can't wait to see what he is gonna produce next and also I can't wait to see him perform again in the kick ass town of College Station.
