Guitarist Doug Sampson has spent more than 40 years on the local entertainment circuit in Nova Scotia and is well known for his expertise with Celtic styles, perhaps most especially for with his work with fiddler Anthony Rissesco. In the 90’s he toured with Brakin’ Tradition and shared the stage with The Rankin Family, The Barra MacNeils, Rawlins Cross, The Irish Descendants and many others. Doug’s work has by no means been limited to the club scene in Nova Scotia however, on the international stage he has opened for stars such as Kenny Rogers, Mel Tillis, John Prine, Loudon Wainwright and Taj Mahal.
