Doug Cotler is a Grammy Award-winning composer and an accomplished singer, songwriter and musician. Cotler tours the country extensively sharing his innovative music with Jewish communities everywhere. Of course, Doug is a big fan of Voyage Air Guitar, and he packs it with him on his world travels (the picture here is from a recent trip to Israel).

Cotler’s musical career includes composing the symphony, “The Golem,” which was performed by Seattle Philharmonic Orchestra, performing country, pop and rock music with such well-known artists as John Denver, Jerry Jeff Walker and Mason Williams, and recording eight original Jewish music albums. Cotler’s 1984 Grammy was awarded for writing “Manhunt,” a powerful song featured in the hit album and movie, “Flashdance.” His multi-faceted abilities have uniquely defined Doug’s career. For 14 years, Doug was the musical producer of the Reform Movement’s National Biennial Conventions.

From young children to adults, Cotler’s music appeals to a wide cross-section of Jewish music lovers.  His breakthrough album, “Listen,” contains the hit song “Standing on the Shoulders.” This expressive song is used extensively as a theme for conventions, films, and religious services.  Cotler’s other albums include “It’s So Amazing!” – fun Jewish songs for all ages.  “Whispers In The Wind”, adult-contemporary songs on Jewish themes.  “Down Home”, Jewish Bluegrass. His cover album, “Echoes,” contains Jewish-American popular classics. His newest albums are, “A Rose In December,” which reflects songs of healing and peace, a live concert recording, “Everyone’s Invited – Doug Cotler LIVE!” and “Funny Jewish Songs,” a hilarious exposé of Jewish musical humor.

Like most great sidemen, Mario Sebastian’s endeavors don’t end with his gig as a guitarist in the bands of singer/actress Jennifer Lopez and her husband, Latin pop sensation Marc Anthony. A native of Argentina – the rock capitol of South America – Sebastian is not only a prime representative of a new breed of bilingual pop/rock artists crossing and blending international musical flavors and boundaries by playing, writing, and producing. He recently co-wrote the spanish ballad “Ella Solo Piensa en El” with Grammy-winning writer/producer Jose Luis Pagan, and co-produced “Through the Eyes of a Child” for German rock band Raemonn with another Grammy-winning producer, Julio Reyes Copello. {gallery}artists/Mario_Sebastian{/gallery}Voyage-Air Guitar is proud to join alongside D’Addario strings, Egnater Amps, and Hughes and Kettner as a sponsor of this bright, young talent.
