Doug Passon won the 2014 Arizona Attorney Magazine’s Creative Arts Competition in the category of music. Attorney by day, practicing criminal defense at the Federal Public Defender’s Office for nearly 17 years, Doug spends his nonwork hours playing guitar, writing songs and creating film projects. His song “No Tomorrow” has been called a “meditation on the joy and pain of living and a call to live more deeply by embracing the uncertainty of the future.” The song was inspired in part by the untimely passing of his friend and mentor, attorney Darrow Soll. It is performed by another long-time friend, Dan Nichols.
Dan is the featured musician in Doug’s recent movie “Road to Eden,” which was shown in the fall of 2013 at the Valley of the Sun JCC and in the 2014 Greater Phoenix Jewish Film Festival. “No Tomorrow” can be heard on the soundtrack of the film, and you can hear the song at: tinyurl.com/ArtsMusic2014.
The 2014 winners were named in the May issue of the Arizona Attorney magazine, and include attorneys who submitted in the areas of photography, fiction and nonfiction, painting, poetry, sculpture and music. The magazine is a publication of the State Bar of Arizona. Azbar.org/AZAttorney | Doug: dmajorfilms.com
