Doug Skinner

I began my musical journey as a teenager, playing bass and singing in a local “garage band” in Milford, Connecticut. After enlisting in the Marine Corps, I continued honing my musical skills by playing in bands wherever I was stationed. While stationed in Memphis, I worked part-time as a studio musician, playing bass in multiple demo recordings at Sun Studio for local songwriters. After leaving the service and taking 30 years off for career and family, I retired to the Villages in 2003 and renewed my musical career. I was an original member of Flashback, a well-known local band in The Villages. I have sung in various musical productions, including “American Bandstand Revisited” and multiple “Starry Nights” shows at both the Savannah Center and The Sharon. As a member of Bobalou’s Oldies but Goodies, I have sung on multiple occasions with Rocky and the Rollers at Katie Belles. In collaboration with Michael Hertz, a fellow Vietnam veteran, I recently recorded and released an album entitled “Midnight in July,” which is comprised of original songs about a soldier’s experiences in Vietnam.

Upcoming Events

Hello friends and fans,

I am sad to say that, as of now, I will no longer be performing at Pauley’s.  The restaurant/bar operators have not been able to negotiate an acceptable lease renewal with the board at Continental Country Club , so they will be closing shortly.  I want to thank all of you for your support and friendship over the past few years and I hope to see you somewhere around The Villages.  I really enjoyed all of our time together and I will miss it.

If, by chance, I happen to get another opportunity to perform locally I will inform you of the new event.

Stay Well and Happy,

Doug
