The Doobie Brothers are “takin’ it to the streets” once again.
From June through August, the 2020 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees will tour all over North America as part of their ‘The 2024 Tour’ with Steve Winwood and Robert Cray on select dates.
That includes concerts at Camden, NJ’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center, New York City’s Madison Square Garden and Saratoga Springs’ Saratoga Performing Arts Center.
“We’ll be playing all the iconic songs that we know you want to hear, as well a few new tunes, and deep cuts that will make this a show to remember,” guitarist Pat Simmons told USA Today. “We…can hardly wait to rock out Doobie style!”
And if you’re itching to rock out “Doobie style” with them this year, you can grab tickets to see the “Jesus Is Just Alright With Me” FM radio Gods live as soon as today.

Doobie Brothers set list
When you have as many beloved hits as The Doobie Brothers — personally, we can’t get enough of the upbeat 1974 classic “Black Water” — it’s hard to construct a set list.
However, it looks like the band has settled on one they like quite a bit that pays homage to their impressive catalog.
Take a look below to see what the band played at most shows on their 2022 tour.
01.) “Nobody”
02.) “Take Me in Your Arms (Rock Me a Little While)” (Kim Weston cover)
03.) “Here to Love You”
04.) “Dependin’ on You”
05.) “Rockin’ Down the Highway”
06.) “You Belong to Me”
07.) “Easy”
08.) “South City Midnight Lady”
09.) “Clear as the Driven Snow”
10.) “It Keeps You Runnin’”
11.) “Another Park, Another Sunday”
12.) “Eyes of Silver”
13.) “Better Days”
14.) “Don’t Ya Mess With Me”
15.) “Real Love”
16.) “World Gone Crazy”
17.) “Minute by Minute”
18.) “Without You”
19.) “Jesus Is Just Alright” (The Art Reynolds Singers cover)
20.) “What a Fool Believes” (Kenny Loggins cover)
21.) “Long Train Runnin’”
22.) “China Grove”
Encore:
23.) “Black Water”
24.) “Takin’ It to the Streets”
25.) “Listen to the Music”
The above set list was courtesy of Set List FM; their site features an archive of all Doobie Brothers concerts dating all the way back to a February 1971 gig at Saint Francis High School in Mountain View, CA.
Doobie Brothers band members
The San Jose-based band today consists of lead singer Michael McDonald and guitarists Tom Johnston, Pat Simmons and John McFee.
That’s not the whole band, though.
These days, the core quartet are joined by touring musicians John Cowan (bass, vocals), Marc Russo (saxophones), Ed Toth (drums), and Marc Quiñones (percussion).
Doobie Brothers new music
In 2023, Michael McDonald and co. collaborated with Mick Fleetwood and Jake Shimabukuro on the single “Lahaina,” a contemplative ode to the Hawaiian island.
Before that, the band delivered the rockin’ 12-track “Liberté” in October 2021.
For our money, the pulsing “Cannonball” is the standout song here; it doesn’t quite fit in with the Doobies’ greatest hits of yesteryear but introduces a new modern folk sound more in line with The Lumineers and Mumford and Sons.
The soaring “Shine Your Light” and throwbacks “Easy” and “Just Can’t Do This Alone” will surely have audiences waving their lighters high in the air at live shows, too.
Finally, “Amen Old Friend,” the album’s last song, likely won’t leave a single eye dry at concerts.
If you want to hear the exciting, sonically diverse record for yourself, you can find “Liberté” here.
Doobie Brothers special guests
At all concerts, the Doobie Brothers will welcome either Winwood or Cray to get things started.
To make sure you’re up to date on their work, we’ve listed each artist’s most streamed song on Spotify below.
Steve Winwood: “Higher Love”
Robert Cray: “Right Next Door (Because Of Me)”
