This monthly series, held on the second Wednesday of each month, will include a special guest for each show, and there will be rotating bourbon and other happy hour specials as well!
Doug Hart
In April, Deuce ‘n a Quarter welcome special guest Doug Hart – a great frontman and guitarist that hails from Dayton, Ohio. He started playing music at an early age, developing a love and appreciation for rock and roll, then eventually falling in love with the blues. Over the years he played in various cover bands throughout southwest Ohio before starting and fronting his band, The Doug Hart Band, in 1998.
Doug has earned the right to compete in The International Blues Challenge in Memphis, TN four times, advancing to the semifinal round twice. This is where Doug has been able to get acquainted with people in the industry, allowing him opportunities to play famous venues like Stevie Ray’s Blues Bar in Louisville, KY, Buddy Guy’s Legends in Chicago, and Memphis Beale St. clubs like BB King’s. When Doug Hart takes the stage, you are in for a treat!
