Bruce Dougall... a name you can trust, the results you want, the service you deserve.
Outside of his Real Estate career, his hobbies are music, digital photography, and horses, (being a former equestrian centre owner).
With music, he is a professional level trumpet player. He started his music passion in full time music ministry with 'Living Sound' from Tulsa Oklahoma along with Don Moen and (the Late) Larry Dalton in the 70’s, two well known names in Gospel music. Since then, he has played with numerous groups doing mainly lead trumpet playing with Big Band Jazz groups in the Vancouver BC area. He is a former member of the Canadian Forces Reserves playing First Trumpet with the 15th Field Artillery Regiment Band. From local small venues, doing pit orchestra work, live musical theatre, some symphonic performances, to traveling with Bill Gaither in the early 80's… Bruce has been part of the music scene for decades. He is also the former instrumental director of a Gospel Music group called Daystar. He has worked on many CD projects as a music consultant, assistant engineer, and studio player.
His first love is Gospel Music. His plan for his newest CD: “What A Gig That Will Be” was to compile a group of tunes that were well known so the listener could immediately identify with. The charts were written and played in a Big Band Style using all real instruments and a full string section. Real instruments? ....a rare thing today in recorded music. With the musical magic of Larry Dalton’s writing and arranging, Bruce’s CD became a reality.
On the CD, Bruce plays a custom, hand made trumpet he bought from Doc Severinsen. His Flugelhorn, also played on the CD, was custom made for him by Tony Scodwell in Las Vegas, Doc's former lead trumpet player and road manager. Bruce's CD won 'Instrumental Album of the Year' in Canada in 2008, in the Gospel Music category. An award that Bruce is most thankful for and a high light in his music life.
Bruce currently plays Lead Trumpet with Kelowna's:
Bruce is an active supporter of the Arts in Kelowna.

This photo was taken by my wife who is a Professional Real Estate Photographer, now expanding her craft to portraits. Her work was featured at the famous Okanagan Art Walk in Lake Country this summer.
This photo shows me with a new trumpet I received this year as a gift from my good friend Leroy Duncan in Oklahoma. "Leroy....I cannot thank you enough. I love this horn!"
