He is known for his poetic lyrics, as well as his innovative musical style that blends folk and blues with a caustic modern commentary.
As a composer, musician, producer and engineer, September's passion for arranging music from the ordinary every day into a unique auditory experience has evolved into a singular style.
His music has been likened to Bob Dylan, Tim Buckley, and Tom Waits.
He has also been producer/engineer for other artists such as Halifax songwriter Matthew Grimson, guitarist Tom Fidgen, B3 Hammond organist John T. Davis, and scored a soundtrack for the short film Malcontents.
In January 2005, UK Uncut, listed Douglas September's song "Lady and I" from album 10 Bulls as their #1 Track influenced by Bob Dylan.
