It looks like Michael McDonald is really enjoying being a Doobie Brother for the first time since the ‘90s, because the soft-rock outfit—less than a year after performing at the ol’ Gary—is bringing its ongoing 50th anniversary tour to Mahaffey Theater.

Tickets to see The Doobie Brothers play Duke Energy Center for the Arts at Mahaffey Theater on Friday, May 26 are available on the resale market and start at $200.
