Guitars (electric, acoustic, solo's), Vocals, Lyrics, Songwriter, Studio Producer, etc... (* I have played keyboards and bass to finish idea's - it gets the song's done!!)
Pre-recorded acoustic guitar or a drums, key and bass mix; necessary to fill out the "live" sound. Trust me you'll love it. What's not to like... it's just me recording the parts myself.
Friends/Musicians (studio only)!!!
...mainly Drums/Percussions, Bass, and Keyboards.
"Season's Change" (a video "Dukes of Hazzard's Tribute" made by my co-worker's son ; Not bad!!! Thanks Alex!!!)

STUDIO/SOLO PROJECT

Hi everyone I'm Doug "Angel" Luna, I've been working very hard (since 1995) to record products, write great songs and basically bust my *ss for what I love to do!
I've been heard/seen around town playing the best of my music ~old and new~ with a variation of musicians.
Forward progress? Steady... its been rough finding venues/clubs who have a clientele for "all original - one/two/three man acts" to obviously include the ocassional backing track. However, I continue to get out regardless [so] NO WORRIES!!
Do us (you and I) a favor, discover "Corporate Angel" - it might take a few listens but you'll find there are definately many songs to enjoy... then come see C.A. around town!!
"Most" who have seen/heard the music "live" feel the music transcends what the recordings seem to have captured... find out for yourself!!!
Peace,
Douglas S Luna
...HELP SPREAD THE WORD!!! SUPPORT ORIGINAL MUSIC...
BY INTENTION, YOU ARE THE ARTIST/CREATOR OF ALL THAT IS YOUR LIFE... THE CREATION YOU ARE CULTIVATING IS [YOU] AND ALL THE THINGS YOU WILL BECOME!!!

"Spell You’re Under" (8/1995)
- This, my first recording was a venture to assemble originals I had written in the late 80's early 90's while in other bands. To hopefully capture as best as I could [at that time] my intentions as a writer - as well as to hopefully offer up some guitar skills. Kudos to drummer "Dawn K." - an absolute force to be reckoned with; Unbelievable!!! I couldn’t have done it without her!!! (She even played bass on the title track!!)
"Luna"(1/1999)
- The second recording; compared to a modern day "Classic Rock" with references to the ethereal refinement and style of Pink Floyd (Winter's Mourn/Do You Want To?).
This cd was to be my personal [100%] effort at writing (*actually being able to play all the instruments except for the drums).
In the end, I recorded all guitars (except secondary acoustic tracks and the solo in "Major Mush" - P.T. James), singing all lead vocals, and 99% of the backing vocals. I was also financier, designer/photographer of the cd’s jacket and last but not least... in the studio, I was the co-producer with the awesome, award winning "Bill Stace" (Walls Have Ears)...I must have been crazy to think I could pull this whole thing off!
For me this was quite the endeavor and proved to be more than I bargained for... yet somehow the recording was completed and a band was assembled in the process; taking 4 plus years (from the writing stage) to finally play this material out live!!! Whoever said, "Money for nothin’ and chicks for free!!!" - Ouch!!!
I feel, anyone who has read this "Bio" of sorts will [I think] appreciate the music even more ...especially when knowing the story behind the processes! [lol; not enough info go to The Whole Bio "click here"]
