Doug Spears: Calendar

Upcoming Dates

Saturday, October 9th, 2010

European Street Cafe/Southside

Doug Spears & C. Daniel Boling - 8:00 PM

5500 Beach Blvd
Jacksonville Florida 32207
US (904)635-4167 [map]
Price: $11.00

Fourth generation Floridian, Doug Spears, knows the traditions and customs of Florida as well as anyone and he shows it on his new CD, Welcome Home. From the swamps of North Florida to the beaches of Key West, Spears brings the sights, sounds, and even smells of Florida alive in these well written and superbly performed songs.

C. DANIEL BOLING is a creative, entertaining singer-songwriter who can stand up to the best in the busin...ess. His songs have clever, insightful lyrics and lovely melodies – something I find missing in a lot of singer-songwriters' music. His live show is entertaining from beginning to end, with songs ranging from serious to totally hilarious. I recommend him highly!
