Details:
Although his background is in classical guitar, Doug Edgell has chosen the path of singer-songwriter for his latest offering "Ghost Inside My Memory". Listening to Doug's songs is like meeting up with an old friend. There's a familiarity and comfortable feeling about them. His music is inspired and engaging, infused with genuine life experiences and observations, reflecting a journey of exploration and soul searching.

The music on "Ghost Inside My Memory" ranges from the hard driving "Another Day" with a retro 60's organ, to the hauntingly beautiful "Block out the Sun" with acoustic guitar and a string quartet. Layered textures of intricate guitars and piano, alluring lyrics and memorable melodies, his honest and accessible songs are both intimate and universally appealing.

Doug Edgell grew up in a small town southwest of Pittsburgh PA. He began guitar studies at the age 15 and by 18, he was teaching his first pupils. Doug then attended West Liberty State College where he earned a B.S. degree in classical guitar / business. After College, he formed the group Sleeping Giants which was a wildly successful regional touring act for 7 years. The group disbanded in 2000 but not before receiving national attention with their performance on NBCâs late night with Conan OâBrien show.

Doug has since started his own entertainment company DGEMusic, under which he released 3 CDâs of original music. (All available here at CDBaby!) The first âNothing But Timeâ is a solo guitar fingerpicking CD showcasing Dougâs amazing guitar talent. Next was âFor All Daysâ. This yielded his beautiful, heartfelt song âJuliet & Romeoâ which has become a staple on hundreds of wedding mix CDâs. Dougâs latest CD âGhost Inside My Memoryâ (2007) is the result of nearly 2 years of very hard work and dedication by Doug and producer Don Maue. âWe were very determined to make music that was contemporary yet classic, and that would stand the test of timeâ Theyâve done just that. The songwriting on âGhostâ¦â is contemporary yet the production has a classic quality to it. Intircate guitar lines, layered with piano textures, big hooks and memorable melodies, all set the stage for Doug's intimate, soul - searching lyrics.
