About

From lush, languid, lilting tropical sounds, to fast, furious, frenetic guitar picking, Doug Fitch performs traditional slack-key guitar and sings original and Hawaiian music with skill and passion. “This music reflects what I love about Hawai'i: The people, the mountains, the winds, rains, and rolling surf. This is the soundtrack for a way of life in which relationships are valued and nature is revered. Hawaiian music is fun, soulful, poignant, and elegantly straightforward. It’s been a gift to me and I love to share it.”

Live music creates atmosphere and is a powerful addition to any gathering. Whether providing an acoustic backdrop or the centerpiece, the musician must be in touch with the audience and surroundings. “Solo performance allows me the flexibility to reach the crowd as intended.” Doug performs regularly at major resorts in Waikiki and at weddings, private parties and corporate functions.

Doug came highly recommended and lived up to our expectations! Aside from being very prepared and professional we found him to excel in his musicianship and ability to set an enjoyable tone for our special day. Finding out he could play and sing traditional as well as original songs in the Hawaiian language along with his large repertoire of American popular songs was something we felt sets him apart from many other wedding musicians in the islands. A good time was had by all!

My wife and I had Doug perform at our rehearsal dinner a day before our wedding. For us, this event was just as important as our wedding reception due to the fact that it was our only chance to have a small celebration with our close family and friends. Doug was absolutely AMAZING! Not only is he an extremely talented musician but he also made everyone in attendance feel warm, comfortable, and welcome. Doug is one of those people who you feel close to the minute you meet him. He is highly energetic with a great sense of humor which made him great at connecting with our guests and allowing everyone to relax and celebrate. I would 100% recommend Doug for any event!!

We were so fortunate to have found you in time for our daughter’s wedding in Oahu! You were so professional, genuine, prompt and spot-on with everything you did! You definitely spread the ohana spirit. Our guests just loved the beauty of your music. It enhanced the entire Hawaiian wedding experience! We smile when we think of Kirsten and Justin’s outdoor reception at the Hau Tree Restaurant in the Kaimana Beach Hotel. I can still picture them dancing to their song which you strummed and sang so elegantly, knowing exactly how to showcase the special couple. Thanks for creating such wonderful memories. Every time we listen to your music now it brings those perfect moments back, and every time we go back to Hawaii we hear in our minds Wonderful World/Over The Rainbow, and we smile again. Mahalo!

Doug played at both our outdoor ceremony as well as our reception at Queen Emma Summer Palace. It was such an honor to have him as part of our wedding day and the added touch of having two hula dancers join him gave our guests something special to take with them and they still talk of it to this day, 5 years later!!

I recently conducted a wedding ceremony at the Kahala where Doug Fitch was the musician. Right from the prelude, which included several slack key guitar selections, he made quite an impression on the guests. Many were saying: "Wow, that's good!" and "That sounds so amazing!" Then Doug san the processional, and after the vows sang a musical dedication which he had written himself. Both songs were beautiful and heartfelt. There is no doubt that Doug has a special gift and that his musical talents are at the highest artistic level. He added significantly to the emotional warmth of the wedding, and his music was most fitting in our Hawaiian setting.

Beautiful slack key guitar. Worked with us to create a set list that was perfect for our ceremony and cocktail hour.

I was coordinating with Doug Fitch personally for my choice of music. There were times I have been fickle-minded (which I believe was common for brides who wants perfect, memorable music for her wedding). He was utmost responsive to all my inquiries and requests. His voice was spectacular and truly heart-felt. Highly recommended.
