About Me

//////////Hello everyone, I have been writing, producing and performing my own songs since the mid 80s. Currently developing material for a CD, playing in a few venues in my home town of Winnipeg and serving as Past-President of Jazz Winnipeg Board of Directors.In my early teens I endured a number of years of classical flute training but found that I preferred to play along with my record collection or with friends during the 60s and 70s. I am a self taught piano player who loves to write and sing.In addition to my own material, friends know me for my recreations of other artists songs, especially Bob Dylan, John Prine and Leonard Cohen to name a few. I also enjoy creating instrumental jazz pieces. In my past I worked with some contemporary dancers and created music for TV and radio ads.I got back into performing in local venues in and around Winnipeg two year ago and play most gigs with fellow musicians Mitch Dorge, Rubin Kantorovich and Alasdair Dunlop. I have written a fair number of new tunes and material over the past two years which we have focused on for the upcoming album.Some of the tunes on this site are old, some are new, some are live, some are from the studio! In any event I hope you like the sound enough to get out of your chair and come out to one of my upcoming gigs. Cheers!Doug Edmond
