It's been quite a while since I last 'blogged'; but, despite 'the plague years', I've been steadily busy; steadily writing and recording. I always seem to have too many digital irons in the fire to juggle... to keep up with them all. But, The new website has only recently been published. It still needs tweaking, but at least, I have a online 'presence', as they say. I'll be adding to the website, since there is WAY too much that isn't on here, yet. Just checking in. God bless!

SUNNY SIDE OF THE STREET - DOUG DUFFEY + DAN SUMNER

What a difference a plague makes

A shot from almost a year ago: BADD live @ Enoch's [71201] Blissfully oblivious to what was ahead! but I'm not sure that we would've or could've done anything differently about anything; even fleeing the country wouldn't have helped.
It t.i.z. what it t.i.z., but I'll be glad when it t.i.z. over!

New [Ab]Normal - New Website

     As fate [and CDBaby] would have it, I've had to have a new website built; it's a long story, but one I'll post elsewhere. Since I am working with a different company, a new beast, and the site isn't finished, I needed a link to this, my old blog, to be able to keep my peeps abreast of whatsonever I am doing. I have been remiss in posting here, but this will most likely become my new 'abnormal' rant site.  
     Doug Duffey and BADD had an incredible reception to our sophomore CD, "Play the Blues"; which was released on Out of the Past [label] in October 2019, immediately garnered very good international reviews and went into the Roots charts 'with a bullet'. It charted and stayed high in both Contemporary Blues and the Louisiana  charts [where it went to No.1 and stayed there for months]. It is being considered for a Grammy nomination... fingers crossed. svp. 

     All that was going on during a pandemic, hurricanes, lockdowns, socio-political upheavals, and various and sundry unforeseen horrors; so BADD was unable to tour in 2020 to promote the cd. But before and during the lockdown, Dan Sumner and I continued writing, recording, producing BADD's next [upcoming] CD, which the 4 of us are very proud of. It is completed, but with things as they are, it, like Louisiana Soul Revival's 2nd CD [recordings are finished] are 'on hold'. We continue writing and recording through it all. We're praying 2021 will be a much better year for everyone. 

     Voila! This is just a short update, to let you know the website is under construction, [actually there are 2, but that;s for another rant] .... but do visit again, for more 'stuff'.

[c]2017 DOUG DUFFEY

     Back from European mini tour [had all sold out concerts] for a few weeks before returning to Europe for an extended tour into 2019. 
     Great to have been back with my band of about 16+ years, "The Doug Duffey International Soul Band" in Switzerland, for 13BluesTage in Weissbad; and 2 unplugged 'duo' shows with [Swiss blues award winner] Walter Baumgartner [blues harp/vocals]... 
     DOUG DUFFEY + BADD will be at Enoch's on November 16th [unless there is an act of God] and it is written that LOUISIANA SOUL REVIVAL + DOUG DUFFEY will be doing Downtown River Fest on December 1 [which I hope to God does not mean outdoors]... which in itself will live up to the billing.... a bien tot
     p.s. I have left Facebook for the time being- until I can get some things done- it does nothing but suck time. I also need to jettison and cull years of shit.
