Alex MacDougall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alex MacDougall is a record producer, and percussionist. MacDougall is best known for being a member of the Christian rock band Daniel Amos in the late 1970s, but was also a member of Selah, The Way (band), Salvation Air Force, The Richie Furay Band, The Randy Stonehill Band and The Larry Norman Band.
Born and raised in Orange County, California, MacDougall toured as part of the Richie Furay Band opening concerts for Loggins and Messina, Leon Russell and The Beach Boys, among others before joining Daniel Amos in the mid 1970s for their Horrendous Disc tour. MacDougall became an important part of the sound of the band in the late 70's, providing a second percussion sound inpsired by drummers/percussionists Airto Moriera and Harvey Mason. MacDougall left DA during their Alarma! album recording, but continued to provide percussion for the band's albums (and many others) for years, and even reunited with other early members of the band for a 1999 performance in California.
MacDougall worked for StarSong Records for a time in the 1990s, and was partly to credit (or to blame, depending on your perspective) for The Swirling Eddies' Sacred Cows album, in which the band "mercilessly butchered" CCM hits by Dc Talk, Carman, Amy Grant and others. During his lengthy career, MacDougall has served as VP of Special Projects/EMI Christian Music, GM/Vineyard Music and Executive VP/Maranatha! Music (current). He has created hundreds of best-selling projects in all genres of music, including a GRAMMY Award-winning children's title, and several Dove Award-nominated projects.
As of 2005, he and his wife have five children, and five grandsons.
