Greg Douglass plays Steve Miller

We are delighted to welcome Greg Douglass, one of the Steve Miller Band’s stalwarts!

Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2016, his pedigree extends outside of the Steve Miller Band although he was part of its most prolific life in 1974-78.  He then went on to be a member of Van Morrison‘s band, Tom Fogerty‘s band, Hot Tuna, The Greg Kihn Band, and many more.
At WemsFest, Greg will be accompanied by Steve Browning (bass), and Rob Beckinsale (keyboards/vocals).
