    Dustin Douglas, Guitarist of Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentleman discusses latest album, shares wise words, and more

    Send us a text One of the episodes recorded in the summer of 2025, Dustin and I dig deep into his inspirations, songwriting process, and he shares a lot of wise words, in addition to chatting about their latest album. This episode is great for any musician/songwriter, or fan's of blues-rock! Fronted by ferocious guitarist/singer/songwriter Dustin Douglas, The Electric Gentlemen—rounded out by drummer Tommy Smallcomb and bassist Matt Gabriel—are known to deliver a heavy dose of swagger, groove, and rock 'n' roll attitude both on stage and in the studio. IV—the fourth studio endeavor from Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen—is a raw, unapologetic, Blues-Rock Master course.  It is a powerhouse album drenched in whiskey-soaked riffs and soaring Rock n’ Roll vocals that once again display Douglas’ meteoric rise as one of the heaviest hitters in the Blues-Rock world.  The album was recorded at Eight Days a Week Studios in Northumberland, PA by Paul Smith (Badlees), who engineered and co-produced the album with Douglas.  It was mixed and mastered by Nick Coyle (Lifer, Drama Club, Death Valley Dreams).  IV is the follow-up album to DDEG’s 2023 release, BLACK LEATHER BLUES. “IV is an album inspired by letting go of any musical chains,” says Dustin Douglas. “I had no intention of following any genre restraints or restrictions.” Creator/Host: Tammy Takaishi Audio Engineer: Tammy Takaishi/Alex Repetti Support the show Visit www.creativepeacemeal.com to leave a review, fan voicemail, and more!
