Since the release of his newest collection of pop-rock Americana songs "Remedies," years of hard work are paying off for Douglas Cameron. Corporate radio in his hometown of Boise, ID, added his song "Half Bottle" to their playlist. Instrument super store Guitar Center is spinning "Half Bottle" in every one of their 173 stores nationwide, and opening slots for Shooter Jennings, Mat Kearney, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, Alana Davis, and The Clumsy Lovers have allowed Douglas to reach an entirely different audience. The word is spreading like wildfire.

The impact of Douglas's songs on his fans was evident at the "Remedies" release party in Boise. Over 500 folks from across the West came to see the show, many purchasing airline tickets to attend. "That's an amazing feeling, to have people fly in to see your show. To know that the music has affected people like that is the greatest gift," Douglas said. It is a testament to the years he has put into writing heartfelt, relateable tales of his experiences in love, music, life and death. His honesty is refreshing, especially when dispensing passion-red lyrical bouquets like "Everything about you still makes me burn." His songs are inspiring, exuding the utmost passion while questioning the listener with passages like: "If I hold out my hands/ to those whose yesterdays were empty and lonley/ if I turn around to see/ find redemption in me?"

Road ready and road worthy, Cameron is excited to get back to the touring scene doing solo acoustic shows as well as full band shows across the Northwest and West Coast. Years on the road with touring act Stranger Neighbor allowed Douglas to win over fans in a live setting, the energy of his shows unfiltered and addicting. Armed with an engaging new album, radio play and the maturity and strength of his live performance, Douglas is ready to reconnect with his fans in their neck of the woods.

History of Stranger Neighbor:

Feb. '93 Moscow, Idaho: Doug strolls down Main street and his ears catch an amazing band rehearsing in the distance. He follows the sound and meets Big Time Adam, a six-piece band that inspired Doug from the second he met them. John Fricke was the trumpet player and actually lived next door to one of Doug's high school friends. A friendship is formed and great covers of Poison's "Every Rose Has Its Thorn" are performed between shifts at the Pizza Pipeline.

Jul. '94: Doug and some other friends are looking for a drummer to round out a new band. John introduces them to Bill Swartz who joins on drums and The Bedheads are formed. The Bedheads open for Big Time Adam, The Clumsy Lovers, Citizen Swing and other bands around the northwest. They also released one CD entitled "Therapy". John contributes great horn lines to the record and starts to jam live with the band.

May '96: The Bedheads split up as do Big Time Adam. John entertains thoughts of going to Texas and Doug wants to put together a new project. Casey Miller, a percussion student joins as does Levi Eckroth on bass. They all convince John to stay and take over a house gig at a local bar called The Capricorn.

Jul. '97: Levi leaves the band and wicked bass player Ryan gibler joins the lineup. The band plays 3 nights a week, every week. Popularity grows as do the lines out the door.

They continue to tour as a duo, all the while continuing to look for the right musicians to complete the lineup.

Jun. '01: Old friend and keyboardist Rusty Tinder sees an SN show and is invited to jam for the evening. Being in a transitional period in life, Rusty is asked to join SN on the road. SN is now a three-piece.
