Heights Presbyterian Church presents Heights Live! with Doug Moreland,  Friday, June 29 at 8:00pm. Heights Live! features family friendly concerts. 

Doug grew up in the Davis Mountains of Texas, the son of a colorful wainwright, blacksmith, and fiddle-playing ranch hand. Doug briefly pursued a musical degree, which set the stage for his short stint as a fiddler and funny sideman for dinner theater entertainment. He left that to tour the country with various acts, eventually settling back in Texas to write his own songs and front his own band.

Basing himself out of Austin 10 years ago, he continued his self-promoted tour, and developed into a unique, western, swing band with his wit and charm playing along with his unconventional instrumentation of fiddle, upright bass fiddle, and drums, with a steel guitar playing lead.

Doug has received a Will Rogers Cowboy Award for Western Music Male Performer of the Year from the Academy of Western Artists. He also received an Entertainer of the Year award from the Texas Music Awards.
