This year marks the 20th anniversary of Gregory Douglass’ first release at the tender age of 16. Since 1998, he has released nine studio albums and several EPs and singles on his own label, Emote Records. We’re celebrating by re-releasing his various albums right here on Airplay Direct throughout the year. And we’re going out-of-order. We begin with his 2005 release STARK. The song “Alibis” from the Stark album was recently licensed to the new Netflix show The Rain, season 1, episode 4 (a Denmark Production) - release date May 4, 2018.

Full Bio:

Gregory’s evocative, alternative sound blends Rufus Wainwright's opulent musicality and Justin Timberlake ́s accessible soulfulness. NPR’s Morning Edition once coined him as “New England’s Best Kept Secret”. Gregory has shared the stage with artists like Regina Spektor, They Might Be Giants, Shawn Colvin, The Weepies, and Jason Mraz to name a few. He has also collaborated and shared the stage with fellow Vermonters Grace Potter and Anais Mitchell. The native Vermonter now calls Los Angeles home. According to Pandora's founder, Tim Westergren, Gregory is one of the top independent artists on Pandora radio today. He has sold 200,000+ songs digitally on his own and his videos have amounted to over a million views on his YouTube channels.

Gregory wants a better world for the future sustainability of independent music. He’s been a pioneer of DIY innovation throughout his indie career as an early adapter of crowdfunding his albums (before Kickstarter was around), streaming live concerts (before Concert Window was around), and performing house concerts in his fan’s living rooms throughout the country.

Now, he’s teamed up with Patreon to help fix what’s currently broken in the industry – a reliable stream of income for artists and creators. “I believe artists membership models like Patreon are on the right path to the future of creative sustainability. Music sales have plummeted but the expenses required to create and release new music remain the same. Artists cannot sustain their craft today without the vital support of their fans.”

Look for more re-releases throughout the year here at Airplay Direct and news about Gregory’s upcoming Live From The Chapel project – a live album and video “rockumentary” in the works.
