Their new release is called Deep In The Water for good reason. The title track reflects Douglas’ recent efforts on behalf of multiple plaintiffs battling DuPont for injuries sustained by the chemical giant’s illegal dumping of the dangerous chemical C8 into the Ohio River. Douglas spearheaded the milestone litigation, representing the unsuspecting communities along the Ohio River Valley to whom DuPont referred in internal documents to as “human receptors.”
“I’ve spent my life trying to end the corrupt corporate mentality that has caused such harm to this country and the world at large,” says Douglas. “My work as a trial attorney enables me to practically defend the victims of their greed but it’s equally important to increase public consciousness about the harm these companies wreak on us all. Making music is perhaps the greatest way to raise awareness and inspire others to join us in the fight for what’s right.”

“I’m really proud and excited about this record,” Douglas says. “I feel like a man on a mission. I’m hoping it will resonate with people and give them something to which they can relate.”

I live near the Ohio River. This intrigues me.
I liked to cruise the Ohio River when I owned a boat in Pittsburgh.
