Doug grudgingly 'whiles away the winter' in the Canadian Arctic while Jeff, Matt, Jeff & Cam sing their beaks off in various bands and musical conflagrations in the sunny(er) South. No hard feelings? No 'worming' his way out of it? Doug will just have to wait till the 2017 Festival season to blend voices, licks and back slaps with these Pixie Chicks otherwise known as DB & the Blast! Poor Birdie. iTunes

Yes Folks! They're AT it again. Just out of the studio with a brand new Hit Song "Anywhere By Now". Will this be a first instalment to their NEXT CD I wonder? Want to HEAR IT? Go to: https://soundcloud.com/doug-barr-the-blast/anywhere-by-now ... THEN, treat your ears to their recent 14 song CD release - 'Too Far From the Water' @ http://dougbarrandtheblast.com
