Doug Fitch Music

Whether playing traditional, popular, or original compositions, my performances reflect enthusiasm and creativity as well my respect for my teachers and the traditions of the music. I have a vast repertoire of songs for you to choose from, and with enough notice, I am willing to learn a new song for your ceremony or reception. I want help make your special day as perfect as possible.

A performing musician since age 8, Doug was raised in a rural mountain area in a family of accomplished professional and amateur folk musicians. “I was brought up on acoustic music and spending time outdoors. In addition to writing my own songs, Hawaiian music speaks to me because it’s an acoustic tradition that reflects its people and their natural surroundings. It paints a beautiful sonic picture that relies on heart and soul for interpretation.

If you are a client booking me directly as is normally the case, please note that if you have hired an event organizer, that organizer must be notified that I am working under a contract only with you and that I will perform according to your instructions only. Please note that, for weddings on the beach, a special permit from the State of Hawaii is required. Your wedding coordinator can handle all the permitting details. If you are planning your own event, contact the Department of Land and Natural Resources. Because the fines are exorbitant, I will not perform for events that do not have a permit. I require a copy of the permit at least 2 weeks before your event, at the same time the 2nd-half payment is due. Processing time for obtaining permits can vary so please make your request well in advance.
