"Doug MacLeod is an acoustic roots master. He has been using guitars and voice to create his own unique musical vision for over fifty years." - Elwood Blues Aka Dan Aykroyd.

Doug MacLeod's 'A Soul To Claim', with Producer Jim Gaines, will be released April 8, 2022.

Doug is a multiple Blues Music Award winner, including the 2020 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Artist Of The Year and the 2018 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Album Of The Year, ‘Break The Chain’. He was nominated for the 2021 and 2022 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Artist Of The Year.

MacLeod's playing landed him sideman gigs with George 'Harmonica' Smith, Big Joe Turner, P*e Wee Crayton, Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson, Lowell Fulson, and Big Mama Thornton. Over 30 years, 21 studio albums, several live records, compilations, a blues guitar instructional DVD, and a live performance DVD, MacLeod has consistently earned raves.

His songs have been covered by many artists including Albert King, Albert Collins, Joe Louis Walker and Eva Cassidy. MacLeod's songs have been featured in many TV movies and the hit show In the Heat of the Night. August Wilson requested his soulful slide guitar playing in the Los Angeles opening of "Gem of the Ocean”.
