Doug C. and The Blacklisted

Doug C and the Blacklisted are an Alt-Country project from Los Angeles, California founded in 2012 by singer/songwriter Doug Carrion ( formerly of Descendents, Dag Nasty). Doug C and the Blacklisted are a blend of country, alt-country, neo-folk, and overall good time music, that attract audiences ranging from country fans to folk fans, hipsters to Deadheads, who collectively approve of the talent, craft and respectability that is clearly on the rise.

From the moment Doug Carrion’s mom took him to the legendary Light House in Hermosa Beach, California to see Jazz for the first time at the age of 9, his passion became music. He taught himself to play guitar at 15 and began his career in music as a musician - playing in underground favorites such as Descendents, Dag Nasty and Circle Jerks. His interest in writing, recording, engineering and producing were all part of the same musical program.

Doug’s reputation as a songwriter and player sometimes obscures the fact that he is also a capable engineer, mixer and producer. Doug has contributed to the production and engineering on many of the albums he’s played on, though he rarely seeks credit for such work because he feels it is part of his role as a songwriter.

He went on to work with a number of well respected artists, producers and engineers including, Matt Hyde, Perry Ferrel, Pennywise, The Crow Soundtrack, Josh Freese, and Kottonmouth Kings.
