"What variety!  I've not been this entertained in - well - too frickin  long!!"

Ross Douglas is an award winning songwriter and wonderfully entertaining performer..

Initially drawn to theatre, he saw much of the world as Pianist / Narrator in the second-ever cast of the seminal BILLY BISHOP GOES TO WAR,  and was in the original Vancouver production ANGRY HOUSEWIVES  for which he also received  a Jessie Award for "Outstanding Musical Direction'  He also spent  9 years as writer, musical director and performer at Theatre Royal in Barkerville, BC.

 This spawned a songwriting output of great variety - 4 albums of original song full of wit,observation and storytelling - which  as a  solo  performer, he delivers with great gusto.  . 

His songs have won various awards.  Lovin Time  was Runner up in the Jazz category of the  John Lennon Song Contest  -  his uke inspired ditty Kokanee Canary Canoe  was Special Jury Award  winner in the Mid Atlantic Song Contest  . His folk laced "Town for Tired People" and "Bougainvillaea Bobby" prompted  Folk Alley to name him their  "Folk Artist of the Month"   

       At last count, he has fans in 115 countries and territories around the world
