Doug C and the Blacklisted are an Alt-Country project from Los Angeles, California founded in 2012 by singer/songwriter Doug Carrion ( formerly of Descendents, Dag Nasty). Doug C and the Blacklisted are a blend of country, alt-country, neo-folk, and overall good time music, that attract audiences ranging from country fans to folk fans, hipsters to Deadheads, who collectively approve of the talent, craft and respectability that is clearly on the rise.
From the moment Doug Carrion's mom took him to the legendary Light House in Hermosa Beach, California to see Jazz for the first time at the age of 9, his passion became music. He taught himself to play guitar at 15 and began his career in music as a musician - playing in underground favorites such as Descendents, Dag Nasty and Circle Jerks. His interest in writing, recording, engineering and producing were all part of the same musical program.
Doug's reputation as a songwriter and player sometimes obscures the fact that he is also a capable engineer, mixer and producer. Doug has contributed to the production and engineering on many of the albums he's played on, though he rarely seeks credit for such work because he feels it is part of his role as a songwriter.
He went on to work with a number of well respected artists, producers and engineers including, Matt Hyde, Perry Ferrel, Pennywise, The Crow Soundtrack, Josh Freese, and Kottonmouth Kings.
Growing up in California, 125 miles South of Bakersfield, California, Doug was introduced to wide variety of music, including some of country's greatest artist Buck Owens, Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, Waylon Jennings, and early Elvis Presley.
It's not surprising he started playing and performing early after getting his first guitar at age 15. Doug brings his own original blend of Alt-Country, American and Honky Tonk with the musical influences of Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, alongside, The Blasters, The Mavericks, and the Rolling Stones.
Doug has toured the United States, Canada and England in a variety of bands before pursuing his own original musical journey. Doug is currently working on songs for a new CD and touring regionally in California. https://www.facebook.com/DougCAndTheBlacklisted
