Doug Figgs recently won the Wrangler Award from the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City for the Best Western Composition of the Year. (Courtesy of Doug Figgs) SOCORRO – Music has always been around Doug Figgs since he saw his dad – who was also a guitar player and singer – make music throughout his childhood. “I saw how much he enjoyed it and how much enjoyment he got out of it,” the younger Figgs said. “It was just something that I wanted to do.” Figgs started elevating his music to the professional level in the 1990s when he started playing in various bands. In 2011, he went to the annual convention for the International Western Music Association, where he attended a songwriting workshop. He then started writing songs and released his first CD soon after.
