Winds of Thor was founded in 2005 with a simple yet passionate shared philosophy: to pay homage to the musical wizardry of Led Zeppelin.
Winds of Thor has been performing the music of Led Zeppelin steadily since then, quickly spreading through the Midwest and beyond.
Their dynamic repertoire, interwoven with virtuoso impromptu jams, has earned them the reputation of being the closest thing to seeing Led Zeppelin in their glory days.

Doug has been playing guitar since the age of fetus. Music is such a huge part of his life he was once hospitalized after breaking his G-String. Doug, always the professional, has seemlessly stepped into the role of Jimmy Page and has eerily captured Jimmy’s larger-than-life persona on stage. Doug is an accomplished song writer with over 250 songs written, and continues to write songs at a mind blowing rate.
Doug is very involved in the music scene, and also portrays W. Axl Rose in a nationally touring Guns ‘n’ Roses tribute act, as well as fronting an original collaboration called Serpentarius. Winds of Thor is pleased to have him aboard.
