Biography

Artist Douglas September is known for his poetic and moving lyrics, as well as his innovative musical style that blends folk and blues with a caustic modern commentary. As a diverse composer, musician, producer and engineer September's passion for arranging music from the ordinary every day into a unique auditory experience has evolved into a singular style. His music has been likened to Bob Dylan, Jeff Buckley, and Tom Waits.  

Throughout September's career, he has been fortunate to have collaborated with many talented and inspirational musicians, such as Michael Shrieve, Bill Frisell, David Torn, Robby Aceto, Wayne Horvitz, David Bearwald and Steve Lindsey. He has four albums as a solo performer with two where he is involved in co-production, and composing music for the film The Runner. He has also been producer/engineer for other artists such as Halifax songwriter Matthew Grimson, guitarist Tom Fidgen.

He has recently completed scoring a soundtrack for the short film Malcontents, and is currently completing engineering/producing B3 Hammond organist John T. Davis's next album.

Originally from Cape Breton Island, off the east coast of Canada, Douglas currently lives in Toronto, Canada, with his wife and daughter.
