He has released fourteen albums, produced the national public radio broadcast River City Folk for over thirty-five years, and founded and continues to produce Portlands largest annual folk music event, Winterfolk, a benefit for our areas struggling homeless population.

Doug Smith is an internationally renowned finger-style guitarist, performer, and clinician.   He is a winner of the prestigious Winfield, Kansas, guitar competition, has been featured in the Hollywood production of the movie August Rush and shares a Grammy Award for his work on The Songs of Henry Mancini.” He has performed and taught in Japan, China, and throughout the U.S.
