Doug Roraback and the Double Diamonds band playing country western and folk rock.
Doug's love of music started before high school, when there seemed to be no limit to what he could sing: classical, country, folk and gospel all felt as natural as taking a walk. Growing up in the Ballard neighborhood of Seattle, he sang in choirs for school and church, and soon picked up the guitar. At age 21 Doug sang one season with the Seattle Opera when he rediscovered his true musical style--opera wasn't it. With an equal passion for snow skiing, Doug quickly realized he'd need a way to support it. Advancing as a professional level three ski instructor helped the cause, but he also managed to get paying gigs at the slopes, singing and playing guitar. Over the years Doug snag in various choral groups, including an all-male gospel choir, delivering rousing solos people felt down to their toes. It would sustain him until he could retire from running his own business in 2012 and do music full-time. Doug developed a local following for his rich baritone voice, enhanced by a life well lived. Doug loves interacting with the audience, devoting a big part of his shows to requests from his classic song list.
