Fort Myers family of musicians amazes audiences with their talents

By Sean Martinelli

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Ever since Alex and Sean Cameron were kids, they dreamed of following in the footsteps of their father, contemporary violinist Doug Cameron.

Now the trio captivates audiences across the country with their music.

“I always say it’s like an out-of-body experience,” Doug said. “Just to watch them take off – I get so much more pleasure watching them than me [performing].”

During their shows, the Cameron family often put their flavor on music you wouldn’t associate with the violin – such as rock or metal.

Like his dad, Alex plays the violin. Sean performs on the saxophone. They are a highly sought-after act on cruise ships.

“[Alex and Sean] can see how proud I am and enthusiastic I am for them to take off on their own,” Cameron said. “To be honest with you, I think it’s more than I ever thought I’d be able to see in my life.”

The group will be performing at the Center for Performing Arts in Bonita Springs on April 28 at 7:30 p.m.
