Great Big Sea meets Blue Rodeo. Energetic, infectious, raucous and fun. Canadian singer and songwriter Doug Folkins performs his songs with emotion and poise. His music swings from traditional Maritime reels, to driving Contemporary Country and Rock songs with attitude, and Celtic music reflecting his life experiences on the rugged British Columbian coastline. Doug's uptempo music with clever lyrics and premium song crafting is a great resource for all types of media productions.
After 10 years of steady gigs and a fierce schedule of writing, producing, marketing and promoting his music, Doug Folkins has returned to his roots with traditional Celtic/Country treatments of cleverly crafted songs about life on the British Columbian coast with reflections from the Maritimes. From a traditional upbringing on the cozy farmlands in southern New Brunswick to remote logging camps on the rugged coast, Doug has crafted his songs around colorful stories and characters he collected along the way.
“Folkins is both a rock artist and a folk troubadour. He follows in the footsteps of east coast artists; but has embraced the more modern aspects of contemporary Canadian roots rock music”, “Folkins’ songwriting is mature and skillful - he definitely knows his way around more than one type of song.” (Rachel Jagt - Canadian Bands.com).
"There is a definite tendency to mix other musical styles with Celtic sounds with Doug's music. The play, singing and writing/arrangements are all very much above average. It is very, very, very good." Wildy's World Reviews.
