Lightening doesn’t strike twice, but in their case, it will. They're back at it again. Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen are releasing a new album. BLUES I will be their second album. They will release the new ep exclusively on July 8 @briggsfarmblues festival. The EP will be available the following week on #itunes, #Spotify and #applemusic and all other major online distributors as well as @galleryofsound and @musicgoroundwilkesbarre.
Although Dustin has been a long time friend, I started working with him while he was putting together his solo album Black Skies and Starlight in 2014. We did the album design, promo materials, and merchandise. It was soon after he picked up Tommy Smallcomb and Matt “The Dane” Gabriel to start Dustin Douglas and the Electric Gentlemen who, from now on, I will refer to as DDEG…because it’s easier to type. Not too long after the band had formed DDEG tasked me with designing their logo.
And the Boltman was born!
I had several different ideas, but in the end there was only one way to go, and Boltman was it! From tee-shirts to hats, stickers and even the guitar picks, Boltman is everywhere. There is even a line of holiday versions now.
After all was said and done. They wasted no time hitting the studio. We were designing the premier album, promos and merch. But that’s history…
Let’s talk about NOW…
We just finished putting together the DDEG BLUES 1 Album. The photo shoot we did for the album and upcoming promos went great. With classic cars, guitars, and a great location, you can't lose. We were able to get a ton of great shots. Check out some of them below!
DDEG are a great group of guys with tremendous talent. I look forward to every project we work on together and I'm incredibly thankful for the opportunity.
