His classic blues-rock style, stinging guitar playing, soulful singing and smokin’ hot band work together creating exciting live shows that leave audiences everywhere cheering for more.

QUOTES

“Doug Varty is living proof that rock n’ roll is alive and well. Yes, it’s retro, but it’s fresh, honest, tasteful and true.” – Joe Belanger, London Free Press

“The riffs are catchy, the solos devastating, the rhythm section impeccable and the rock/soul singing heartbreaking.  A  MUST!!”
– Thommy Martinez, Radio Coteaux, France

“Feel Free” – a rather glorious dose of blues rock, littered with great vocal hooks and memorable riffs. It’s hard not to be charmed by the entire affair.
– Sam Khaneka, Powerplay Magazine, UK

“Varty handles both vocals and guitar, managing to sing like a down dirty rock and roller… and there’s some very sweet blues going on as well. If you like Joe Bonamassa and AC/DC alike, you will have a very good time partying with the Doug Varty Band.
– Alan Holloway, Fireworks Magazine, UK

“A three piece who sound rather like AC/DC who’ve gone to the South and partied with ZZ Top for a while. Songs about having a good time, not taking sh*t and getting taken back by a hot chick – Good ole boys for defo!”
– Glenn Milligan, Metaliville Magazine, UK

“Did I tell you how much I love the new CD? It is GREAT driving music!”
– Barb Collishaw, music lover
