Doug Preston

I started out playing music in El Paso, Texas in the 90s Highlights of that time were opening for Flock of Seagulls and sharing bills with post-hardcore legends At The Drive In.

Since 2001 I’ve been based in Phoenix, AZ and have performed both solo as well as part of multiple acts (Jesse Nova, Raul & The Reptiles, The Low Men, Ruca, Mister Lucky, and Scattered Melodies).

These days I’m performing as a solo artist and as part of Doug Preston and the Soul Searchers which features Arizona music legends Scott Andrews (The Pistoleros, The Chimeras, Ghetto Cowgirl, Chuck Hall and the Brick Wall) and Mark Riggs (The Pistoleros, The Chimeras, Chuck Hall and the Brick Wall) and Ryan King (Sliced Limes).

In 2017 I released my first full length solo record, Up Until Now.

In 2023 I’m scheduled to release a new song the first Friday of every month. They will be available on most streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, and YouTube Music. I’ll also be performing with a new group called Poetry Falcon (news on that soon) and I’m doing some production work on the side. So lots of new music this year.
