Singer Songwriter Blues Extraordinaire “Doug Skoog” In The Aquarium!

Today’s Guest in The Aquarium!

Having toured locally and nationally, today’s guest 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.

His 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 actually STOPPING HIS SHOW to FEATURE Doug’s playing and saying, and I quote….“This player is from my Al Ma Mater.”

His soulfulness is heavily influenced by Delta Blues, Chicago Blues and Gospel piano styles. He has been nominated for and won numerous Blues Music Awards from The Washington Blues Society including: Best Piano Keys, Best Male Vocalist, Best Blues Album, Best Blues Band and Best New Blues Band.
