David Doucet & John Fohl

Blending folk fingerpicking with bluegrass flatpicking, he carved out a sound thatโs both grounded and completely his own.
For over two decades, heโs been the rhythmic backbone of ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฌ๐จ๐ฅ๐๐ข๐ฅ, the Grammy-winning band he shares with his brother, Cajun fiddle icon ๐๐ข๐๐ก๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐๐๐ญ.
And his 1991 solo debut, ๐๐ฎ๐๐ง๐ ๐โ๐๐ข ๐๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข, proved heโs just as strong out front as he is holding it down.
His guitar journey started by accident โ literally.
After breaking his arm during high school football, he picked up a guitar to pass the time.
Dylan and Paul Simon got him started, but ๐๐จ๐ ๐๐๐ญ๐ฌ๐จ๐ง and ๐๐ฅ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐๐ ๐๐ก๐ข๐ญ๐ lit the fire.
That mix of tradition and creativity still fuels his playing today.
๐ถ ๐๐จ๐ก๐ง ๐ ๐จ๐ก๐ฅ made his way from Montana to New Orleans in the โ90s and became one of the cityโs most trusted sidemen.
After a stint with the ๐๐ก๐๐ซ๐ซ๐ฒ-๐๐จ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ข๐งโ ๐๐๐๐๐ข๐๐ฌ during their ๐๐จ๐จ๐ญ ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ญ ๐๐ข๐จ๐ญ run, he dropped anchor in the Crescent City and never looked back.
Heโs backed up ๐๐ซ. ๐๐จ๐ก๐ง, ๐๐๐ญ๐๐ฆ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฐ๐ง, ๐๐จ๐ก๐ง๐ง๐ฒ ๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐จ๐ง๐, ๐๐ก๐ ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐๐จ๐ฒ๐ฌ ๐จ๐ ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐, ๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐๐ค๐ข๐ ๐๐จ๐ฉ๐๐ฅ๐๐ง๐, and more โ
and even picked up a Big Easy Award with the SansoneโKrownโFohl trio in 2004.
From solo work like ๐๐ก๐ข๐ฌ ๐๐ข๐๐ ๐จ๐ ๐ญ๐ก๐ ๐๐ซ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ to late-night jazz joints and packed clubs, Fohl shows up ready โ
tasteful, versatile, and always in the pocket.
๐ค Two legends. Two guitars. One night you wonโt want to miss.
