Dougie Poole

Dougie Poole is a country musician and songwriter based in LA. Coming of age in Providence, Rhode Island he dabbled in heavier and more experimental music before maturing into a country auteur. He writes earnestly about his experience (life in the big city, heartbreak in the digital age) and approaches country music with honesty and a deep respect for the genre’s traditions. His latest record, At Tubby’s, is out now on Wharf Cat.
