He has built a solid reputation for producing innovative music of critical acclaim that provokes his listeners and generates movement among his peers.

"...a potent lyricist..." Guitar Player Magazine
"...bristling with promise, passion, and nascent brilliance." Uncut Magazine, United Kingdom
'Douglas September is a Canadian singer-songwriter who, just as his countrymen Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, may score well in the future...An extremely strong international debut...'
Music Maker, the Netherlands
"...thought-provoking, powerful, and literate..." The Gavin Report
"...a rare and atypical discovery on the music scene, Douglas September is singular and unique in his presentation of new strength in poetic expression..." Wine X Magazine
oil tan bow:
"...unbridled soul and passion. It may not be for everyone, but it does have a perverted appeal for those willing to let it unfold before them..."
The Coast, Halifax, NS
"This Cape Breton singer-songwriter's bullhorn vocals, along with the combination of loops, samples, and acoustic blues, evoke both very early Beck and latter-day Tom Waits. Elsewhere, his stunning remake of "Girl From The North Country" would probably draw an approving nod from Dylan himself..."
CANOE - John Sakamoto's Alternate Top-Ten (2 on List)
"...a collection of post-apocalyptic country-metal ballads tailor-fitted for a 21st-century Mad Max... an innovative interpretation of country/blues themes and forms..."
The McGill Tribune, Montreal
io:
"Songwriter/vocalist Douglas September sings in kind of a conspiratorial whisper, bringing to mind folks like up-and-comer Matthew Ryan and cult-fave Peter Himmelman; the bluesy, raspy "Message In The Wine" even sounds like the solo work of fellow Canadian Robbie Robertson. The thing is, despite the new-agey implications of the record's title, a lot of September's writing is worth shouting about: "Sometimes when we're along, it feels like a room full of strangers" confesses the opening line of "Room Full Of Strangers," a song that recalls yet another veteran north-of-the-border guy, Bruce Cockburn. Keeping pace with September's voice and words is a jittery, occasionally spacey take on folk rock, which serves to make io a worthwhile conspiracy for sure. The Spectator - Raleigh, NC
ten bulls:
"Blood on the Tracks" for the next millennium. Don't let this one slip by unnoticed. With the most dynamic daunting backing band for a newcomer in recent memory... Douglas September stands tall for his music...." The Gavin Report, Kent Zimmerman
"Every now and again,an album by a new artist comes along that grabs you from the first few bars of the first song. Douglas September's "TEN BULLS" is such an album. Notwithstanding the sophisticated, tasty production values of the album (check out who played on TEN BULLS), the real strength lies in September's songs and more particularly the lyrics." The Album Network
"...TEN BULLS is sure to put September in the same company as those he has been compared to like Bob Dylan and Tim Buckley." Friday Morning Quarterback
"Aided by ex- Santana member Michael Shrieve (drums/production), Bill Frisell (guitar), Michael Rhodes (bass), Wayne Horvitz (keyboards), Douglas September should not go unnoticed. His springboard is mid-period Dylan, and his palette consists of clever wordplay united by melodies of understatement. Tasteful and high-quality, hopefully Ten Bulls won't slip through the cracks." Pieter Hofmann - Dirty Linen

Thank you for your friendship. Please check out the my flyer for the great lineup of musicians I’m going to be working with at the Iridium Jazz Club on June 16th. I am so excited! Peace and love, Pat Holley
Recently, I added a new song to my music player called, "Always" which might be one of the best songs I've written so far. Tthe chorus was scored for an entire violin section, however, in studio, I had one violinist, Jan "Yes I Can" Sullins. I asked her to single handedly create the sound of a "Hollywood style" string section. This is almost like telling someone, "Please jump rope one handed 10 times while monkeys nip at your feet."
Lucky for me, Jan worked some magic and now you can hear it on track 1 in my music player. It's called "Always" and is from my upcoming album, "Awakening," to be released June 16th.
