I was lucky enough to catch the "Doug Wahlberg Band" on two separate nights, in two distinctly different venues. On Good Friday night I saw them rock the Georgetown Saloon in Georgetown Connecticut. It was an intimate club setting, giving me an opportunity to hear and watch everyone in the band play up close and personal. George on bass and Rich on drums preformed as a tight, well rehearsed rhythm section. T-Bone on the keys rounded out the music perfectly reinforcing Doug's fantastic guitar and vocals. Doug is a masterful technician on lead guitar. The following night I saw the band open for "Mountain" at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Ridgefield Connecticut. This was part two in the Doug Wahlberg guitar seminar exhibition of excellence. Playing off the energy of a large sold out crowd, elevated the bands performance to a higher level. One of the highlights of the evening was Doug's guitar work on their original song "The Lake." Doug's blistering solo blew the roof off the place and received a thunderous applause that was justly deserved. It had been over twenty years since I'd seen Doug play and he blew me away. – Neal Smith of Alice Cooper music a driving force in our world. Doug's knowledge, experience and approach
are threaded throughout his music. Classic rock is the vehicle;
The Doug Wahlberg band is the fuel. You MUST check out this classic act."
