The
formation of the Doug Duffey Band [aka/ the Doug Duffey International Soul Band]
evolved over time- with the different members joining at different times. The
band was finalized when all members were in place in 2005. They have performed
together at venues and festivals in Europe ever since.
Combining their love of, and experience in, soul, funk and rhythm & blues- and adding their individual approaches- the band creates a global soul sound uniquely their own. They are a modern day rock-n-soul band. Their ‘high energy’ live shows are always crowd pleasers, which never fail to get the audiences on their feet. The Doug Duffey Band is ‘the real thing’ and not to be missed!
