Cheek To Cheek

One half of the Duo Cheek to Cheek, Doug Hawksworth, studied guitar in Port Alberni, BC. Doug was a musically gifted child and learned all styles of guitar including classical, flamenco, R&B, country and rock. Doug credits his musical ability to his experience working with many fine players and singers from Port Alberni.

The other half of the Duo is Gail, who was born in England. She learned to play acoustic guitar at a young age, and always loved to sing. After graduating, Gail went on to study with Nicoli Kellinsnikoff (who, at one time sang with the Russian Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra). Nicoli's experience and knowledge had a great influence on Gail's ability as a vocalist. The combination of Doug and Gail Hawksworth first came to be in 1984 when Doug saw Gail performing in a band called Wild Child. Gail later left the band to join Doug's band Vicious Rumors, and the musicians spent the next few years performing throughout British Columbia, Alberta and Washington (U.S.A.). Gail wanted to pursue an idea she had to perform a tribute to Tina Turner, and successfully put together a "Vegas-Style" act which enjoyed HUGE SUCCESS in cities throughout British Columbia and Alberta. Meanwhile, Doug was enjoying success performing on the Vancouver club circuit with fellow musicians.

Doug and Gail married in 1989 and formed the Duo “Cheek to Cheek“. They have enjoyed great success on the pub and club circuit. Cheek to Cheek’s performance highlights include performing at the Molson Indy party at the Plaza of Nations and for the Jim Pattison Group and enjoy steady work performing at weddings, conventions, and private clubs.
