Mike Doughty

Every time I see Mike Doughty it’s like the first time. The reason I say that is because he never performs things the same way. He’s always tinkering with his songs and changing them…sometimes on stage right before your eyes. And that’s why I’ve seen half a dozen times. I love the sheer artistry of his endeavors. For him, it’s not about creating another Super Bon Bon. It’s about creating art, something more than a poppy musical number you’ll forget in 5-10 years till the next Quentin Tarantino comes along and reminds you of the cool things you forgot about. Between Soul Coughing, his solo work and now Ghost Of Vroom, Mike Doughty has amassed a large number of amazing songs with the help Andrew “Scrap” Livingston and friends. Those songs were expertly played live by them and the rest of the band. I loved the show. He was just as good as always. And he’s such a gracious man. He really appreciates his fans.
