Dave McDougal
Thursday January 23rd
David MacDougall started his music career at the early age of 7 years old when his father purchased him a Yamaha Acoustic Guitar. After learning the basic chords, he started taking group guitar lessons where he learned the POP songs of the 70s era (James Taylor, Jim Croce, Beatles, Crosby Stills). In high school he and PETER THIEMAN (drummer) formed ALTER EGO, a garage band with some of the neighborhood kids and went on to play local gigs at school dances, parties and talent shows. From there he carried his talent to college and met up with bass player TIM DOYLE and formed URBAN COUCH, an indie rock group that achieved some regional fame around the OHIO, WEST VIRGINIA area in the late 1980s. After college, David joined up with THE CLASSICS showband and toured the US and Caribbean playing concerts, state fairs, cruise ships, and casinos. In 1995 he and some other local Atlanta musicians scored a house gig at OTTOS nightclub in Buckhead playing jazz and pop favorites of the time. David went on to start playing piano at many different night clubs and restaurants, focusing on singing and playing a variety of standards and originals. He has played in several CORPORATE bands and has performed at countless weddings, clubs and private events. Moving to KEY WEST FL in 2010, David furthered his music career playing local bars with a focus on original island music which was the foundation for his CD creation in 2012 “ISLAND TIME” Since then he has played with PLATINUM music group, GWEN HUGHES and the RETRO JAZZ KATS and various other bands/musician in all types of situations.
