104.7 The Point and Harpoon welcome
Gregory Douglass' passionate amalgamation of contemporary folk, pop, and rock has been compared to Tori Amos, Jeff Buckley and Patty Griffin. With six critically acclaimed, independent CDs under his belt, the 27-year old Vermont native evokes the songwriting skills of an "old soul" and "the voice of an angel" (Seven Days). Douglass’ numerous accolades include being a finalist for both the 2005 International Songwriting Competition and 2004 Independent Music Awards; and winner of the 2003 GrammyFest in New York City, as well as being the inaugural performer on the American Red Cross 2003 "Save A Life Tour.” Douglass has toured with They Might Be Giants, and has shared the stage with India Arie, Melissa Ferrick, Jason Mraz, and Catie Curtis to name a few. Instinct Magazine says that Douglass’ sixth and newest album Up & Away “channels everyone from Stevie Wonder to Fiona Apple in a way that's terrifyingly mature for someone so young."
