Luke Doucet
Luke Doucet (born June 9, 1973) is a Canadian singer-songwriter and guitarist. He has written and performed as a solo artist and as a member of the indie rock band Veal and the folk rock band Whitehorse.
In 2006 and 2011, Doucet was nominated for Juno Awards in the Adult Alternative Album of the Year category for his albums, Broken (And Other Rogue States) and Steel City Trawler.
Doucet was born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, and raised in Manitoba. His parents divorced when he was young. When he was 11 years old, Doucet travelled solo from Winnipeg to Nova Scotia and at 13, he took a Greyhound bus from Winnipeg to Vancouver, British Columbia.
Doucet had planned to become a lawyer before deciding to focus on guitar. He got his first guitar later that same year, and played in a blues band with his dad when he was 15. He played in bands throughout high school.
Doucet joined the folk music group Acoustically Inclined shortly after the band from Winnipeg released its 1991 album Are You Inclined? He moved to Vancouver at 19 and joined Sarah McLachlan's band.
In 1994 Doucet became the front man for Vancouver rock band Veal. Along with Doucet, Veal consisted of bassist Nik Kozub and drummer Chang. Howard Redekopp and Barry Mirochnick had also played bass in the band. Veal released three albums, Hot Loser in 1996, Tilt O'Whirl in 1999 and The Embattled Hearts in 2003. In 1999, Doucet signed with music promoter Shauna de Cartier, who shortly after formed Six Shooter Records. The band is now defunct.
In 2001 Doucet released his first album, Aloha, Manitoba. The album consists of songs written for Veal that his band-mates felt were "too soft".
A departure from his work with Veal, Aloha, Manitoba has a mellower, more folk-influenced sound. Bazil Donovan, Barry Mirochnick, Lloyd Peterson, Christine Fellows, Sky Onosson and Gilles Fournier performed on the record. Aloha, Manitoba was the first official release for Toronto record label, Six Shooter Records, with a catalogue number of SIX01. Doucet is still with the label, and has released all of his solo albums with Six Shooter.
