After last year’s totally sold out appearance as the top Californian rock guitarist Greg Douglass- a key member of The Steve Miller Band – is returning on Sunday 6th October for another “up close and intimate” gig.
Together with his superb U.K band Greg will be presenting an evening dedicated to The Steve Miller Band’s many hits. Greg co-wrote the hit “Jungle Love” which he performed on The Steve Miller Band’s “Book Of Dreams” album. It later re-surfaced on the “Steve Miller – Greatest Hits” 1974- 1978″ album – which has sold over FIFTEEN MILLION copies in the U.S.A. alone! Greg also contributed to songs on Steve Miller’s albums “Abracadabra” (including the title track-= a number one single) and “Living In The Twentieth Century“. Not surprisingly Greg and the rest of the band were inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio in 2016.
After “Abracadabra”, “The Joker” is probably the best known Steve Miller Band song, although “Rock’n Me’ topped the Charts, “Fly Like an Eagle” was a million-selling single which reached number two, “Jet Airliner” reached number eight, whilst “Take The Money and Run” was also a top ten hit.
Greg has also been a member of Van Morrison’s band, Janis Joplin’s band Big Brother & The Holding Company, The Jefferson Airplane offshoot Hot Tuna, and Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Tom Fogerty’s band, toured with r & b legend Bo Diddley. As the guitarist with The Greg Kihn Band, he recorded their massive hit “Jeopardy”, which reached number two on the U.S charts – only held back by from the number one spot by Michael Jackson’s “Beat It”.
Greg will be playing lead guitar, fronting his very experienced U.K based band. Keyboard player Rob Beckinsale and bassist Steve Browning were members of the legendary San Francisco band It’s A Beautiful Day, and appeared at The Isle Of Wight Festival with them. Steve was also a member of The Pretty Things, together with Dick Taylor, the first bass player for The Rolling Stones. The “new boy” -drummer Chris Hughes – was a member of the Manfred Mann offshoot Deaf Boy Hugg & The Hearing Aids. Rob, Steve & Chris all members of Woodstock Festival legend Barry The “Fish Melton’s U.K band, who recently performed at Dimbola Museum & Galleries in July.
