Michael McDonald

Singer/songwriter Michael McDonald, of The Doobie Brothers and Steely Dan fame, brings his distinctive, instantly recognizable voice and a suitcase full of hits to the stage in Santa Rosa. With his husky, soulful baritone, diverse range, and an incredible popular appeal, McDonald has been entertaining audiences with his own brand of "blue-eyed soul" for over three decades. He’s known for catchy and inspirational pop music influenced in equal parts by Memphis-style soul, rhythm and blues, and soulful ballads. With The Doobies he brought us “Takin’ It to the Streets,” “Minute by Minute,” and, unforgettably, the Number One single “What a Fool Believes.” As a solo artist, he is the creator of such hits as “I Keep Forgettin’," the Grammy-winning “Yah Mo B There," and the Number One pop single “On My Own." Most recently, McDonald released two highly successful albums of classic Motown covers and his latest album of favorite covers, Soul Speak.
