Hard Rocker Gary Douglas and Band Among Performers at Rockland Bergen Music Festival

BY GEORGE J. DACRE

Douglas tells the Rockland County Times he has the attitude for hard rockin’ music and he and his seven piece band will be among a host of musicians at the June 27 and June 28 two day Rockland/Bergen Music Festival at the German Masonic Campgrounds in Tappan. In a press release Douglas is described as having a regal rock n’ roll heart and attitude. In fact, the word is that listening to Douglas and the band makes you want to quit your job and start your own band.

Douglas and his crew are currently workng on a new album with Paramount studios and the band’s publicist says that the newest work could be Douglas’ crowning achievement.

Pure, sweaty soul is how some critics describe Douglas’ music, calling it the gospel of rock. Douglas and his band, along with a host of musicians and performers including John Sebastian, Shawn Colvin, David Johansen, Garland Jeffries, Willie Nile, Steve Forbett, James Maddock and many, many more are scheduled for the Second Annual Rockland Bergen Music Festival being presented by Joe Durso.
