A blast from the Past- Doug Davenport is back at FoxFire! After a long hiatus we are happy to have him back! This Classic Rock focused band is lead by the talented Doug Davenport! Doug Davenport
When Doug was five years old, he picked up his first microphone. He was at his sisters drum and bugle practice, at the time he was to young to play any instruments. However, there were big speakers and a microphone sitting in the corner of the studio, so he picked it up and started to sing Elvis songs. Through the early years he always had the ear for music but was taken away from the music scene by his love of sports. As his love for baseball grew, so did his passion for music. He got involved with several musicals and plays in late 80s and early 90s. Growing up in a small town, all they had were bars and trouble. He would wait for a band to come in to town and ask if he could sing one song with them, it was then that he realized the stage was his home after they kept him up there for more than just one song. Through the late 90's he would enter entertainment contests and karaoke competitions. In 2005 he traveled throughout the Midwest singing World Karaoke competitions, which was his last year ending at number at #8 in Miami at the world finals. The past few years he has been working on recordings and several band projects, After finding guitar player Mark Betz, he formed ‘The Davenport Acoustic Project’. Since then they have added a full band and thus changing the name to simply, “The Davenport Project”. He says he is very blessed to have great musicians with him on his midwestern rock and roll journey. He feels his latest project full of talent and heart! He hopes to see you soon!
