Doobie Brothers and Steve Winwood in Concert at Star Lake: PPG Paints Arena Hosts Childish Gambino (Tues., 8/20/24)
1) The Doobie Brothers are a big time rock band that rose out of San Jose, California and charted many hits in the 1970s and early 1980s. The initial outfit was fronted by lead vocalist and guitarist Tom Johnston. He led the band from 1970 until he left in 1975. During that period the Doobies had top hits like “China Grove,” “Black Water,” and “Listen to the Music.” In 1976 Michael McDonald signed on as lead vocalist and the band’s sound took a new course. That version of the band scored hits with “Takin it to the Streets,” “What a Fool Believes,” and “Minute By Minute.” Kenny Loggins even has a co-writing credit on “What a Fool Believes.” Johnston then returned to the band in 1987 and has remained with them ever since. Michael McDonald is now back in the fold too. The Doobies had a new hit in 1989 with “The Doctor.” Liberté is the group’s latest album and was released in 2021. Special guest is Steve Winwood, who’s had his own big success with songs like “Higher Love,” “Back in the High Life Again,” and “Low Spark of High Heeled Boys” (with Traffic). 7 p.m. The Pavilion at Star Lake, 665 Rt. 18 Burgettstown.
