He has written and performed as a solo artist and as a member of the indie rock band Veal and the folk rock band Whitehorse. In 2006 and 2011, Doucet was nominated for Juno Awards in the Adult Alternative Album of the Year category for his albums, ''Broken (And Other Rogue States)'' and ''Steel City Trawler''. He lost to Neil Young both years. Doucet has received plenty of critical acclaim: the ''Toronto Star'' referred to him as "the best young guitarist in the country". ==Early life== Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia, but raised in Manitoba, Doucet planned to become a lawyer before deciding to focus on guitar. When Doucet was six years old, he travelled the Cabot Trail in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia with his father. When he was just 11 years old, Doucet travelled solo from Winnipeg to Nova Scotia. And at 13, he took a Greyhound bus from Winnipeg to Vancouver.〔Shore Fire Media ("From Studying Mime To Drinks With ZZ Top, Luke Doucet Recaps His Rich Life History In Words And Music" )〕 Doucet got his first guitar later that same year,〔Mason, Stewart ("Allmusic: Luke Doucet Overview" )〕 and played in a blues band with his dad when he was 15.〔 Since his parents divorced when he was young, playing in the band was an opportunity for Doucet to bond with his father .〔Havranek, Carrie ("4 to Watch: Luke Doucet" ).
