Mike Doughty Tickets

Amazing show and well worth the cost. Mike is a great entertainer and even stayed to meet all the fans and autograph items afterwards. Loved the venue!

Mike has never disappointed at any of the shows I have been to--including when he was playing with Soul Coughing. He has made each show special for the audience in some way. This time was particularly intimate because the show was recorded live and the disks were then available for purchase after the show. He then signed copies, merchandise, babies, etc. for those interested. Unfortunately, I was the first in line and the first of the two discs already had some random recording by Dr. Karl Coke, but the second disc sounds quite good. I'm going to mail Mike the signed disk of Karl Coke to see if he can/will return me a signed disc of the actual first part of the show. Overall it was a stellar experience!

Mike Doughty put on an awesome show! But the venue had terrible sound - killed the sound of the music. People standing around me were quite vocal about that as well - disappointed to see a concert like that. Don't know if it was the mixing or the speakers. either way. ugh.

From the bizarre, whimsical, faux-bearded sound check, through the opening act, and right until the house lights knelled the evening to a close, Mike Doughty And His Band Fantastic did NOT disappoint!! I first saw Mike, at this very theater, when he was with Soul Coughing, and have been a major fan ever since...so I jumped at the chance to see him and his new Band Fantastic on the "Yes And Also Yes" tour at the historic El Rey Theater in deepest, darkest Los Angeles. Mike's brand of "Jangle-Meets-Beat" musical stylings combine the best of both genres, with a few new twists thrown in to keep you guessing and excited. Intelligent, thought provoking, and often hauntingly personal lyrics form the backbone of Mike's repertoire, softened at times with good, old fashioned silliness. These are all supported, quite solidly, by a foundation of folksy riffs turned inside-out and reinvented.

Great show and really enjoyed Moon Hooch! Thank M. Doughty for picking them up!

The band sounded great! He had good energy and the opener was really funky.

Awesome show - Doughty and his band never fail to disappoint!

Great venue and great band! My friends and I liked the opening band as well. It sounded amazing and the show was fun.

You will never regret seeing Mike Doughty, he is truly unique.

Standing next to the stage, half-way through the show, I had the following thought: "If the sole purpose of the creation of this universe was for this one moment in time, I think it was worth it." It makes my brain tired just thinking about what to say about this show/artist. I'm a pretentious music lover. Mike Doughty is my favorite artist. He shines on stage. There, that'll save me 1000 words. Andrew Livingston and Mike are like bacon and eggs. (I can think of no higher compliment) It's almost an insult that tickets were only $20.

Mr. Doughty was in rare form. He and his cello player were completely in-sync. It was hilarious, sweet and wow-worthy.

Q: Is Orlando? Is not Orlando? A: Is Orlando. Doughty & Scrap Armstrong ruled the stage with authority and evenhandedness to all concert goers. It was twice as loud as a pretty loud conversation, but half as loud as the club next door. Hope MIke can keep making tuneful music for a long time to come. Very good show .

My boyfriend got me into Mike Doughty. I liked him immediately. Mike has an amazing voice and writes really good songs. I really enjoyed Scrap on the cello. The cello really worked well with the music. Beautiful experience! The audience questions is a great idea too :) very entertaining! I would love to see Mike and Scrap again (especially because i heart the American Car song and they didn't play it, so i hope to hear it next time)

Doughty sounded great and his interplay with Scrap and the audience made for a very entertaining evening.

excellent sound and an excellent show!! hell of a guitar player!!!

Overall a terrific show. The music was tight and on the mark -- you could tell Scrap and Mike were having a great time playing. And the jar Q/A was hilarious. It was a nice change from the usual between song banter most bands engage in.

Granted, I'm not a musician or a sound engineer, but something was off at the Birchmere. I felt like shouting out - fix the buzzing/interference already. It was like the show needed to be set at 8 and they had it on 10. It wasn't the loudness, but some flaw in the speakers or mike or set up or accoustics. I will definitely pause before buying tickets to that place again. SO, to get through it because I was wimpy and did not point out the problem-o, I pretended I was in a friend's garage listening to her older brother play and sing with his buddy. AND, I had another glass of wine. Mike did great and deserved better. The question jar was a hoot. We laughed a lot. THAT cello was powerful and passion-ful.
