CCBC’s Doug Mattingly 'Best Local Album'

Baltimore County, Md. – Doug Mattingly, an adjunct faculty member at the Community College of Baltimore County, has had his second CD, Building A Monastery, voted the "Best Local Album" in the Readers Poll in the 2006 Best of Baltimore edition of the City Paper . “I am honored to receive this public recognition of my work,” remarks Mattingly, who hopes to release a third album by year's end. In 2002 he released his first album, who are you. His albums are available at www.dougmattingly.net.

Mattingly, who teaches on the Essex and Dundalk campuses of the Community College of Baltimore County, has been a Music department faculty member since 2000. He teaches Music Fundamentals, Popular Music Theory and Musicianship, Music Appreciation, and also teaches private guitar students. He is currently working with Bill Watson, coordinator of CCBC’s nationally-accredited Music program to put together a proposal for a course on songwriting.

“Doug is typical of the faculty in CCBC’s Music department – professional artists – who share their passion and expertise in Music with their students and the campus community,” notes Watson. “I am happy to see his music get this well-deserved recognition.”
