biographical info

Doug Hoyer is among Edmonton’s premier pop practitioners. Having toured Canada several times in support of two previous EP’s and 2010’s Two New Songs From Doug Hoyer 7”, his long awaited full length debut Walks with the Tender and Growing Night has finally arrived via Old Ugly Recording Co. June 30th, 2011.

Commonly known as a ukulele troubadour, that sound has grown immensely. If you've had a chance to enjoy his recent 7" you will have already witnessed this transformation beginning. Doug's newest endeavor is heavily danceable and involves a deluge of different instruments, record samples, field recordings, and sound-makers on every track. Produced by Calvin McElroy (Born Gold/Gobble Gobble, Kuhrye-oo), the album's focus on infectious melodies and crooning heights is very much deliberate.

Walks with the Tender and Growing Night

posted by doughoyer on Oct 04, 2011  

Well! So much has happened in the past few months!

I've released my first full length record on Old Ugly Recording Co., toured for SEVEN weeks coast to coast with esteemed rapper The Joe, and played with/saw a million great friends along the way.

I'll be uploading my album to CBC's site right away, tomorrow I think. If you are interested in picking up the record (LP, CD or Download) just head HERE

 

peace! -D
