"In running a worldwide entertainment company, I come across many genres of music. I understand the complex nature of what makes a song stick in your mind as well as your heart. It takes a special talent to not only make a melody flow but when you feel like you are a part of the story of the song, that is when you have found the musician who is a genuine artist who stands above the rest. Douglas is a testament to said artist. Once you take a listen to just one song, you will long to sit back and soak in his entire catalog of original content. I guarantee that the blend of his voice, wonderful musicianship and the tale he weaves into each and every song, you will become as enamored and delighted as I am.”

“Douglas Haines is an Americana singer-songwriter, who has been entertaining audiences for three decades, blending acoustic guitar melodies with a poet’s gift for capturing a story in lyric form.   Listening to his songs is kind of like reading a really good book, you are there. Douglas Haines is one of those singer-songwriters whose music and melodies is so subtle, delicate and intimate, that you’re pretty much convinced he is singing just for you…and he probably is! The minute I hit play on the finger-picking, “Before You Know”, I was thrown back to the days of America, Bread, Crosby, Stills Nash and Young, Jim Croce, Gordon Lightfoot, James Taylor, Don Mclean, Lobo…and the list could go on and on. His voice is pure and sincere and never dull, overdone or forced. He sings about his life and love, holding nothing back. Something Haines does superbly on “Before It Rained” and “Love Can’t Break Your Heart”. It’s almost impossible to find words adequate enough for Douglas Haines. Simply phenomenal.
