SAN ANTONIO - The Doobie Brothers bring their American rock legacy to the Majestic Theatre on Sunday, March 25 at 7pm. Tickets go on sale Thursday, December 15 at 10am.
The Doobie Brothers are one of the great American music stories. Since their story began in the 1970s, the band has released 13 studio albums, celebrated numerous gold and platinum albums and chart toppers like "Long Train Runnin’," "Black Water," and "China Grove.
Aside from a few years of inactivity in the mid-eighties, the Doobie Brothers have continued to perform, create and record for over 21 consecutive years. “The Doobies have always been about playing live,” Tom Johnston says. “We’re not a studio hot house group and we’re not a concept album band. We’ve always just brought in the tunes we had, put them together and made an album. That’s the way it’s been from the very first album and that’s still the way it’s being done.”
In 2010, the Doobie Brothers released their first album in 10 years, World Gone Crazy, on HOR Records. World Gone Crazy is another chapter in their music story, but it’s neither comeback nor nostalgia. An exhibition of aggressive and emotional performances, evocative storytelling, unapologetic attitude and world class musicianship, the collection is its own justification.
With the singing/songwriting/guitar playing team of Pat Simmons and Tom Johnston and three decade members John McFee (guitar/pedal steel/fiddle and mandolin) and Michael Hossack (drums and percussion) charging forward, the Doobies continue to exude the vitality and creativity that made the group superstars that have sold 40 million albums worldwide.
JamBase calls World Gone Crazy “one of the strongest installments in a catalogue that stretches 13 studio albums deep [and] a fine mixture of familiar Doobies textures [that is] also unmistakably the sound of the band moving forward, trying fresh things, stretching themselves.”
Tickets ($45 - $75) will be available at all Ticketmaster outlets, including the Majestic Theatre Box Office, online at www.ticketmaster.com, or charge by phone at 800.745.3000. All tickets subject to applicable service charges and fees. This concert is part of the Bud Light Concert Series at the Majestic Theatre.
