Available in:
Born and raised in Los Angeles, eight-year old Doug Pettibone picked up a guitar and fell in love. His first teacher was Andy Summers, formerly of The Police, who was studying music at Cal State Northridge at the time. At nine years old, Doug studied with Eddie Lafreniere, guitarist for big band leader Jimmy Dorsey. With Eddie’s guidance, Doug spent the next five years studying the music of Dave Brubeck and Duke Ellington.
In college, Doug discovered classical guitar, opening up a whole new world of music for him. He received a scholarship to Pepperdine University-Malibu for Jazz Guitar, Classical Guitar and Voice. Graduating with a triple major in 1984, it was time for Doug to learn how to forget all the analytical mechanics of music and play from his heart and gut. For the next 10 years, he would play any gig that would come along, no matter how bizarre.
In 1999, Doug landed a world tour with Jewel that would last a year and a half. In 2001, he was hired to play pedal steel and mandolin and background vocals for Tracy Chapman’s North American tour. Not long after that, Lucinda Williams hired him as her multi-instrumentalist and singer to tour, record, and co-produce. In the last few years, Doug has played live and/or recorded with Steve Earle, Elvis Costello, Joan Baez, Vic Chestnut, Mark Knopfler, Richard Thompson, Sting, Ray LaMontagne, John Doe, Marianne Faithfull and many more talented artists. With his music education and professional experience, Doug is able to morph his style into about any musical situation he is thrown into; however, he always seems to find his way back to the music of the fields and the streets—Blues, Country and Roots.
In 2005 Doug released an acoustic-driven solo album, titled The West Gate. Doug is currently working on a new solo album.
