Doop and the Inside Outlaws

The deep working class roots of singer/songwriter Don "Doop" Duprie echo throughout his music. Front man for the Detroit area alt-country/roots rock band Doop and the Inside Outlaws, Doop is a laid off firefighter born and raised in industrial River Rouge, Michigan. He teamed up with legendary Detroit producer Jim Diamond (White Stripes) to record his albums "Blood River," "Everett Belcher" and now "What am I supposed to do?"
Doop's songwriting has received national attention, having been hailed "hands down the best songwriter we (Detroit) now have to offer the Americana World" by Don Zelazny, AmericanaRoots.com.
The albums made the Top Ten Lists in Metro Times and AmericanaRoots.com. "Everett Belcher" won the Detroit Music Award for "Outstanding Country Recording" and was named "Album of the Day" by Country Music Pride's podcast Americana Daily. Doop's music has been featured on the American Public Media radio show "The Story," the award-winning podcast Digivegas.com and the #1 rated Americana podcast, "Americana Roots Roundtable" on NoDepression.com.
Now with Pete Ballard on pedal steel guitar, Katie Grace on bass and Danny Kanka on drums, Doop and the gang just released their third full length album.
