Since his days as the frontman of the beloved Jazz-Punk band Soul Coughing, Mike Doughty has been writing incredibly interesting, hooky songs that are sure to worm their way into your head. For this tour, Doughty is touring with the largest band he’s ever toured with – six people – making this a show you will not want to miss!
There have been many in-stores at Twist & Shout over the years. Some, like Trey Anastasio and String Cheese Incident, were more or less ticketed affairs that saw lines stretch around the block and scalpers get top-dollar for wristbands. Others, like Tuesday’s intimate acoustic set with Mike Doughty, are much more mellow, laid back events. Though it only lasted 30 minutes, the ten song set showcased Doughty then and now and satisfied the hardcore fans in attendance.
Mike Doughty’s effortless vocal delivery, casual demeanor, and understated poppy groove picked up the crowd at The Bluebird on Tuesday night and transported us off to another place where life is just a little bit easier. By the end of the evening our steps were lighter and our moods brighter thanks to Mr. Doughty’s musical offerings.
