Michael McDonald joins the Doobie Brothers onstage in Tampa this weekend

Golden anniversaries are becoming more and more common (sorry, children of the ‘70s), and The Doobie Brothers are leaning in this weekend when the band plays Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre on Friday, June 3. (Show postponed to July 20.)

In celebration of the band’s 50th trip around the sun—well, 52nd, thanks to COVID—Michael McDonald, a legitimate hater of the NRA, will join his brothers onstage for his first full-fledged tour with them in almost 30 years.
Some fans had to sit through a whole pandemic to get to this show, so obviously, what the people need is a way to make ‘em smile.
