About Me |
|
| South Louisiana native Doug Belote grew up in Cajun country, immersed in the sounds of jazz, rock, funk, R&B, Cajun, zydeco, Dixieland, gospel, Latin and New Orleans second line rhythms. He began playing the drums at 12 and worked in clubs and at recording sessions while still in high school. After just a semester at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, he sold everything he owned including his drums and hit the road for The Drummers Collective in New York City where he studied with Ricky Sebastian and Kim Plainfield and broadened his musical palette.In his early twenties Belote began touring Europe, Japan and the Caribbean with a variety of New Orleans-based jazz, blues and funk artists. He has recorded on more than 100 albums and his resume includes work with Mike Gordon, Jerry Douglas, Jeff Coffin, George Porter Jr., Willie Nelson, Sonny Landreth, Travis Tritt, Henry Butler, Delfeayo Marsalis, Anders Osborne, Cyril Neville, Ivan Neville, Clarence Gatemouth Brown, Allen Toussaint, Fred Wesley, Steve Masakowski,Rodney Crowell, Taylor Hicks, John Oates and many other artists.Belote currently lives in Nashville, Tn. and tours with 12-time Grammy winner Jerry Douglas. Belote proudly endorses Yamaha drums, Zildjian cymbals, Shure in-ear monitors and Pro-Mark drumsticks. | |
