Bio
Doug Barnett was born in Phoenix, Arizona. He attended Sahuaro Elementary School and Moon Valley High School. During his first year of high school, Doug's mother bought an old player piano with the mechanical parts removed. This ignited an intense desire to play music, so Doug taught himself to play a handful of tunes by Elton John and others.

The next year, he signed up for a guitar class at his high school. His mother let him use her old Harmony arch top guitar to start practicing during the summer. He played that guitar until the sides cracked and the neck began to bend. His Uncle Bill was also a great musical influence on Doug. He had a wide array of acoustic and electric instruments that Doug was able to play.

Music stayed a hobby for many years as Doug amassed a vast and varied collection of musical recordings. John Denver, James Taylor, David Wilcox, and Bill Hranek were strong influencers.

Doug moved to the Seattle area in the late 90s for employment and decided to stay a while. In March of 2003, Doug bought a Martin Cowboy II acoustic guitar and decided to become serious about music. Within a year he was writing and recording his own songs in a home studio. He began playing at open mic events around the Puget Sound, finding friends among the local musicians. Open mic led to steady gigs and more friendships.

Moving back to Arizona in 2010, Doug played open mics, showcases, and gigs, meeting other musicians and making more albums.

Doug is a BMI songwriter and member of the Arizona Songwriters Association. He has released 11 indie albums, mentors songwriters, and works steadily to become better at his craft. Doug plays in the greater Phoenix and Seattle areas, as well as along Route 66.
