Douglas Erekson is a maverick musician in every sense of the word. His unique sense of being is found in every aspect of his life. Until recently, he drove a rusty 64 VW bug. He does not own a cell phone, have TV or cable, nor the internet beyond dial-up email.
He is a mild germ-a-phobe, partially blind in one eye, has a slight walking disability, and when on a gold-mining expedition at age 14 he was nearly killed, losing his spleen.
Douglas Erekson was born in Aurora, Illinois, but grew up in Billings, Montana. He completed a B.A. in Music and in Film Production at BYU. Later, he earned a Masters from U.S.C in screenwriting. Presently, he teaches music at the Utah Conservatory of Music in Park City, Utah.
Inspired by the movie "O' Brother, Where Art Thou", Douglas Erekson and his album,BACK PORCH BELIEVER, offers unique arrangements and fresh interpretations of the hymns, delivering them in "old timey" and modern bluegrass styles.
BACK PORCH BELIEVER features musicians...
"Little Nature's Heaven" is a collection of religious-oriented folk-rock songs for children that the whole family can enjoy. Making use of parable-like lyrics, "Little Nature's Heaven" inspires, uplifts, and teaches many basic themes in the scriptures.
Fun to sing along,...
