DBX – The Doobie Brother Experience

  • Friday, April 17th. Doors open at 6:30pm, show at 7:00pm
  • Tickets $45.00 including GST, available SOON at the Recreation Complex.

DBX – The Doobie Brothers Experience” is the industry leading substitute for The Doobie Brothers. Playing to outdoor and theatre audiences is what this production is all about. What makes “DBX” so special? Well, just for starters: visual and vocal similarities of Tom Johnston and Pat Simmons, accurate instrumental work, soaring harmonies, and top flight performances – these are the band’s hallmarks, and foundation to which their performance has been built. With over 240 years of collective professional experience in the band today, their performances are as close to the real deal as you’ll ever get.

From the Tom Johnston era to the Michael McDonald era, “DBX – The Doobie Brothers Experience” has evolved into a masterful celebration of The Doobie Brothers music – they have one of the most “game-changing” song catalogs in the history of Rock n’ Roll. Most every Rock enthusiast knows the words to “China Grove”; “Long Train Runnin’ “; “What A Fool Believes”; or “Minute By Minute”, and those who truly love Rock, can sing along when “Black Water”; or “Dark Eyed Cajun Woman”; or “Jesus Is Just Alright”; or “Takin’ It To The Streets” come up in the playlist.
