Doug Hoyer – Oh, The Wind Will Blow (ft. Jessica Jalbert)
Biography
Whether by himself or with his backing band, he switches around between guitar, ukulele and sometimes accordion to tell his tales through song. He has toured Canada several times coast to coast, with various backing bands and tour mates (such as Michael Rault and Sean Nicholas Savage, and played festivals like the Halifax Pop Explosion & co-organizing Edmonton’s Ukulele Festival.
His first ep was entitled “Tattoo”, and charted in many college stations across Canada. The always entertaining Henri “Faberge” Fletcher was kind enough to lend his trumpet and french horn skills to the recording.
His Second EP, “Songs from Grand Marquee” was a mini concept album about a boy who falls asleep in the back of the #8 bus in Edmonton, only to have his dreams and memories fade together in song.
In April, 2009, Doug pushed forward with a new, non-ukulele ep entitled “Busy, Busy, Busy”, both a Kurt Vonnegut reference as much as it just reflects his busy life. A departure from his initial ‘small’ sound, this rock EP deals with teenage awkwardness, drunken romances and heartbreak. This album reflects his fun and engaging live show the best.
He has since put out a side project album of 30 songs called Bike Month, and is currently working on his debut full length for Old Ugly Recording Co.
Years ago in the summer of 2003 Doug was a cast member on the CBC reality “rockumentary” called “Rock Camp”, a show that featured Joel Plaskett & Ian McGettigan (from Thrush Hermit), as well as many others.
