Summary

Doug Martsch, lead singer and guitarist of Built To Spill, will play a rare solo show at Old Town School Of Folk Music in January. 

What We Say

Doug Martsch has been a musician since his brother taught him how to play guitar at age 14. The kind of man you want to see play acoustic guitar because you want to figure out how he does it, he sings tastefully and lovingly selected covers as well as his own originals. He brings his voice and vision to each show. Through all his years of music making, Doug Martsch has been dedicated to listening to all kinds of music and learning how to play the songs and styles that have changed his life. He is better known for playing in bands like Built to Spill, Halo Benders, and Treepeople. To hear him play an acoustic solo set is to understand where his love of music comes from and how he honors this love with his own creations.
