The Doobie Brothers:Live From SiriusXM NashvilleListen on the AppListen on the App

The exclusive performance was the first time that all band members – Tom Johnston, Michael McDonald, Patrick Simmons, and John McFee – performed songs from the new “Walk This Road” album in front of an audience (SiriusXM subscribers who won the chance to attend this very special event)! The performance was captured on Tuesday, May 27 and was encored during The Doobie Brothers Takeover Weekend on Classic Vinyl (Friday, June 6 – Sunday, June 8).

This summer, Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band is going on tour with The Doobie Brothers. As a surprise, Coral Reefer Band lead vocalist and 10-time CMA winner Mac McAnally joined The Doobie Brothers in a crowd sing-along for the iconic hit “Listen To The Music.”

Before the song “Takin’ It To The Streets” was performed, Michael McDonald recalled how it was supposed to be a gospel choir kind of song when he originally wrote it as a young kid, but when he brought the song to The Doobie Brothers it took a completely different direction. Later, Tom Johnston discussed how “China Grove” came together while Pat Simmons reflected on recording “Black Water.”

The new “Walk This Road” album marks the first time in 47 years that Tom Johnston, Michael McDonald, and Patrick Simmons all have sung on a record together. Pretty special.

And, there’s more! Tom Johnston, Michael McDonald and Patrick Simmons will be Inducted into The Songwriters Hall of Fame on June 12 at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York.
