Doug Shemenski – Harp GuitaristDoug musical journey began in 1978 when he purchased his first guitar. Life soon took a different path after he met his soulmate\, Holly. As Doug focused on building two businesses and raising a family\, the guitar took a back seat.Following Holly’s passing in 2019\, music found its way back into Doug’s life during a Christmas gathering in 2020 when his grandchildren encouraged him to pick up his guitar again.Rekindling his passion\, Doug dedicated himself to mastering the guitar. In 2021\, he joined the ACMA as a volunteer\, setting up and tearing down concert equipment. A turning point came in February 2024 when he attended a performance by Muriel Anderson\, whose artistry inspired Doug to envision incorporating the harp guitar into his own music. After also attending two shows by Andy Wahlberg\, Doug was convinced.He purchased his harp guitar in April 2024.Since then\, Doug has embraced performing\, starting with open mic nights and appearances at the Tribby Arts Center at Shell Point Village. Now\, he shares the soulful melodies of his harp guitar by playing twice weekly at Health Park’s four-story atrium and during dinner at a rehabilitation facility. His music brings joy and healing to others\, making this chapter of his life deeply fulfilling
