The Doobie Others are a seven-piece tribute to The Doobie Brothers, recreating the world-famous sound and style of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band with powerful three-part harmonies and a fun-filled, high-energy show. Spanning both the Tom Johnston and Michael McDonald eras, they play every favorite from Listen to the Music to What a Fool Believes, performed one hundred percent live with no studio tricks.
The Doobie Brothers had two distinct lives: the guitar-driven rock of the Tom Johnston years and the blue-eyed soul of the Michael McDonald era. Many tributes can only do one. The Doobie Others master both, moving from Long Train Runnin’ and China Grove to Takin’ It to the Streets and What a Fool Believes in a single set.
The Doobies were defined by their rich, layered vocal harmonies, and that is the hardest thing to reproduce. With seven professional musicians and multiple lead and backing vocalists, The Doobie Others recreate those three-part harmonies with the accuracy that fans notice immediately.
There are no overdubs, no auto-tune, and no vocal or backing tracks at a Doobie Others show, ever. What the audience sees is what the audience hears, which is increasingly rare and exactly what a discerning classic rock crowd is listening for.
Drawn from the deep talent pool of the New York and Long Island music scene, the band brings decades of collective performing and recording experience to every date. They have toured nationally for thousands of fans and slot easily into performing arts centers, theaters, and concert series.
The Doobie Others have become a return booking at performing arts centers and theaters across the country, from the Tibbits Opera House to the Palos Verdes Performing Arts Center.
“No overdubs, no auto-tune, no vocal tracks, ever.” — The Doobie Others, on every performance
Audiences of all ages respond to the feel-good energy and the sing-along familiarity of the catalog, and presenters point to the band’s musicianship and harmonies as the reason the show delivers night after night.
The show can be programmed to fit your venue and audience:
The Doobie Brothers are one of the most beloved American rock bands of all time. Formed in 1970, they sold more than 48 million records, won four Grammy awards, and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2020. Across five decades they delivered roots-based, harmony-laden, guitar-driven rock and roll, then reinvented themselves with the soulful pop of the Michael McDonald years, producing a catalog that radio has never stopped playing.
The Doobie Others bring that entire legacy to the stage. A seven-piece band of seasoned professionals from the New York and Long Island area, they have pooled decades of experience and a shared love of the Doobies into what many presenters call the best Doobie Brothers tribute in the country. Their commitment to performing everything live, with no studio tricks, sets them apart in a crowded field.
For a presenter, The Doobie Others offer a feel-good, high-energy concert that audiences of every age recognize and sing along to. It is a polished, road-tested package that suits a performing arts center, a casino showroom, or an outdoor festival equally well.
