The Doobie Brothers

The Doobie Brothers are an American rock band. They have sold over 30 million albums in the United States from the 1970s to the present. The Doobie Brothers were inducted into The Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004.

The current version of the band has proven to be remarkably stable in its core membership since 1993. It features one-half of the four original members - Johnston (1970–1977, 1987–present) and ever-present Simmons (1970–present, with only a brief hiatus in late 1981-early 1982) - plus veteran drummer Hossack (1971–1973, 1987–present) and longtime guitarist McFee (1979–1982, 1987, 1992–present). They are supported by Skylark on bass and vocals (joined 1995, replacing Cowan), keyboardist Guy Allison (joined 1996, replacing Dale Ockerman), and Marc Russo on saxophone (joined 1998, replacing Danny Hull). With Hossack, newest member Toth (joined 2005) keeps the trademark double-drummers driven sound going. The group continues to tour heavily and remains a popular concert draw. From 2005 through 2007 they headlined benefit concerts at manager Cohn's B.R. Cohn Winery in Glen Ellen (once again sharing the stage with "special guest" McDonald in 2006). They have maintained a continuous and active presence on the Internet through their official website since 1996.
