We’re not in the Artichoke Café this time because although our guest Doug MacLeod will be performing there on Saturday, October 7, he’s not rolling into town until the day of the gig. Such is life on the road.
So instead, when we talked, he was in Memphis and I was right here in Portland.
Doug is a legendary Blues singer, guitar picker and storyteller. He’s been out there doing all three for several decades and he just seems to get better every year.
He’s got great stories and not only about himself.
Doug has seven Blues Music Awards and about a million nominations for others.
Listen to “Unmarked Road” at the end of our conversation.
You’re gonna like Doug MacLeod.
