ABOUT THE ARTIST
Doug Figgs
Lemitar, NM
Doug Figgs is an AFA Certified Journeyman Farrier, horseman, and western music singer-songwriter from New Mexico. For more than three decades, Doug has lived close to his greatest love—horses! He has shod tens of thousands of steeds, started around a hundred colts, raised cow ponies and cattle, and grown lots of grass hay. He has won numerous awards for his music inspired by the cowboy and western life he lives, writing songs from his experiences while drawing from the history, hardships, and sometimes the romance of the West. Doug has performed his music all over the region and continues to turn out his own variety of western music—from hard-driving songs with a hint of southern rock, to beautiful ballads, and everything in between.
"Darcy Farrow" words + music by words + music by Tom Campbell + Steve Gillette.
