The Douglas Brothers, Larry and Wayne, have been described as a fun and perky band (see photo). They began playing music together as a way of getting out of the dishes. Soon they were asked to play outside, which led them to play in barns and garages, and eventually basements of community halls. At this time, their sound was best described as “pingo pingo or otherwise chunky”. In attending a Douglas Brothers show, audiences can expect to laugh, but also sometimes cry or quietly sniffle and, perhaps, sneeze. They are veterans of folk festivals and concert stages, but are most at home in small intimate settings like house concerts and community halls where, as Wayne says, “we find that the snacks are often quite good.”
