His latest project, Different Hats is a two CD collection which contains
music recorded in Sydney, Australia where Doug performs regularly, as
well as other previously un-released material. Also included on the project
are tracks from each of Doug's previous seven releases. "I'm excited
about this new release as it will be a departure from my previous album
projects. Doug's previous release, Celtic Crossroads-The Uncharted Path
was a unique departure from his other recordings. One of Doug's original
compositions on the CD was produced by multi grammy award winning producer,
David Foster. Doug has also just released his first concert DVD, Doug
Cameron Live. The DVD contains video from five different performances.
Doug Cameron appears regularly as a soloist with symphony orchestra.
His innovative program features over two hours of Doug’s arrangements,
and has been received with overwhelming response. “I really enjoy
performing with symphony orchestra. It's always a thrill to hear a great
symphony
behind you when you're performing."
Doug Cameron has been exposed to the music and entertainment industry
from a very young age. In the golden days of live radio, his mother,
singer-songwriter
Barbara Cameron had her own radio show on WLW in Cincinnati where she
replaced Doris Day and often sang with Rosemary Clooney and The Clooney
Sisters. She is best known however for writing and singing The Road Runner
cartoon theme (beep beep!) and is featured on Different Hats in a jazz
arrangement of the tune.
One of Doug Cameron's focuses has been working with young musicians
in an inspirational master class/workshop environment. "This has
truly been some of the most satisfying work I've ever done. I believe
it is more important
than ever that young people become exposed and involved in music. Music
is a gift that I am grateful to have in my life, and it’s my hope
to be able to share it with as many young people as possible.”
