Afternoon of Blues Music with Doug MacLeod

Suncoast Blues Society and Music Compound are pleased to announce an Afternoon of Blues Music featuring six-time Blues Music Award winner Doug MacLeod in an intimate setting. 

This event will be held at 3pm on Sunday, December 5, 2021, and will be held in the Studio 32 at Music Compound.

General admission tickets are $15 and are now on sale at the SBS Website.

About Doug MacLeod

Doug MacLeod is known for his superb songwriting, guitar wizardry, warm soulful vocals, wit, and unforgettable live performances. At the heart of a Doug MacLeod performance is his knack for storytelling, bringing characters-from the faceless to the legendary-to strikingly real life.

Doug is a multiple Blues Music Award winner, including the 2020 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Artist of The Year and the 2018 Blues Music Award for Acoustic Album of The Year ‘Break the Chain’

Like the old masters who taught him, MacLeod’s music expresses life and times through an intangible, elusive quality that may simply be a keen sense of what matters most. Doug’s music, stories, and philosophy provide a healing that has helped others overcome the hardships of their lives. Doug says the most important lessons he learned as a young musician came from Ernest Banks a one-eyed country bluesman from Toano, VA.

“Never play a note you don’t believe” and “Never write or sing about what you don’t know about.”

About Music Compound

Members of the Music Compound have access to a wide array of learning opportunities intended to not only build music skills, but also enhance confidence, communication, and social interaction abilities.

About This Event

This is the second collaboration between our two organizations. Previously, Suncoast Blues Society provided cigar box guitars and education to children from Sarasota and Manatee counties and Music Compound donated the event space.

Suncoast Blues Society is pleased to provide a limited number of complementary tickets for this event for under-18 students of Music Compound.

Your society will have snacks, beer, and wine available for a donation – similar to the Beach Bash.
