Blues Alliance wins Best Washington Blues Recording Award from Washington Blues Society for "Two Things for Sure"Doug Skoog: Keys/Vocals
Having toured locally and nationally, Doug has played piano with legendary greats such as Chuck Berry and John Lee Hooker. Formerly with Blue Tale Fly Band, a back up band for James Cotton and opening act for Siegel Schwall Band, John Prime, Sam Lay and Legendary Blues Band with Pine Top Perkins. Doug's piano playing has been described as very funky, tight, complicated playing that you could expect to hear with any top national act or, in Chuck Berry's words, after stopping his show to feature Doug's playing, "This player is from my Al Ma Mater." Doug's soulfulness is heavily influenced by Delta Blues, Chicago Blues and Gospel piano styles.
