Doug Cox (born in 1962 or 1963)[1] is a multi-instrumentalist, composer and music programmer, and is currently signed to Toronto's NorthernBlues Music.
He is well known for his skills on the dobro and slide guitar.[2] Cox is the first person from Canada to perform in the Dobrofest.[3]
In 2004, Cox collaborated with Todd Butler and produced the CD, Dobro and Guitar, which received a nomination from the Western Canadian Music Awards for "best roots music". The CD was also named "CD of the year" at the Vancouver Island Music Festival.[4]
