Mike Doughty is heading out on a nationwide solo tour this spring, joined by Andrew “Scrap” Livingston, his collaborator from Ghost of Vroom. The run spans 19 cities from March through May, pulling from Doughty’s full catalog including his solo work, Ghost of Vroom, and the recently reunited Soul Coughing. The tour follows Soul Coughing’s wildly popular reunion runs, in which all four original members, Doughty on vocals and guitar, Mark degli Antoni on keyboards and sampler, Yuval Gabay on drums, and Sebastian Steinberg on bass, performed songs spanning the band’s entire catalog.
Soul Coughing’s three studio albums, 1994’s genre-defining ‘Ruby Vroom’, 1996’s ‘Irresistible Bliss’, and 1998’s ‘El Oso’, built a following that never really let go, and these solo dates give that audience something more intimate and wide-ranging. Doughty and Livingston on a stage together is a different kind of show, closer to the bone and built around deep cuts as much as familiar moments. For anyone who has followed Doughty across any chapter of his career, this is the tour to catch.
