About

8-year-old Doug Rausch was faithful to the piano. One day as he was leaving for a lesson, his father slipped him a white unmarked envelope to hand the teacher. After arriving at her studio and following Dad’s instructions, he eagerly climbed onto the bench and tossed his book open, ready to play. The practice week had been less than perfect, but he didn’t see that holding him back in any way. Today he would learn the Key of G! “It says you’re quitting,” she blurted out… RAUSCH did not quit; he has been studying, writing, recording, performing and otherwise living music relentlessly ever since such an early encounter with being all but written off. His obsession led to a degree from the prestigious Ithaca College School of Music in New York, where he won recognition as concerto competition finalist with Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. A diverse following began to build as his unwavering 21st Century rock n roll advocacy efforts collided headfirst with obligations to “serious music.” For the encore of an ambitious recital on the eve of his 21st birthday, his 13-piece band joined him in homage to Guns N’ Roses. November Rain took a classical music school to tears. RAUSCH caught his first compositional accolades when Jordan Rudess, keyboard wizard of Dream Theater, contacted him to perform in a special master-class known as KEYFEST; the invitation stemmed from a college demo that made its way into Jordan’s hands.
