A prominent part in the soundtrack to our times, Michael McDonald, as an artist and songwriter, has been awarded an impressive five Grammys®. However, by maintaining a low-key profile, the contrast of Michael McDonald as a person and as a musician is astounding. Though comfortable onstage, he has never been a flashy entertainer, nor has he been distracted by passing trends. Instead, McDonald has triumphed through music alone, with a remarkable voice and a body of well-crafted songs. Few have made such an impact with so much substance and so little hoopla. Known equally for his benevolence, as his musical prowess and successes, Michael McDonald has lent his talents and energies to a long, varied list of charitable causes throughout the first three decades of his career and he has contributed an overwhelming amount to numerous benevolent events and enterprises. Michael’s recent appearances have included a tsunami relief concert sponsored by The Wave in Los Angeles; TJ Martell’s Stevie Wonder tribute, NARAS/MusiCares’ tribute to Brian Wilson in 2005 and again in the 2007 tribute to Don Henley; Morehouse College’s tribute to Ray Charles, a fundraiser for Stax Museum and shows for The Little Sisters of the Poor in San Pedro, CA, and the Sisters of Mercy, in Oakland, CA, among others. Michael also participated in the 7UP Grammy Signature Schools Program and painted a Gibson Les Paul guitar for a NARAS/MusiCares auction. McDonald was recently honored at the WHY-Chapin awards dinner with the prestigious ASCAP Harry Chapin Humanitarian Award for both his musical career and his vast charitable endeavors. McDonald continues his fundraising efforts actively working with WHY’s - Artists Against Hunger & Poverty program. Michael’s matchless and prolific consistency through more than 25 years of recording and performing was celebrated in August 2005 by Warner Brothers, who released Michael McDonald: The Ultimate Collection, highlighting the wide breadth of his career from his days with The Doobie Brothers to his solo hits, to his version of the Motown favorite Ain’t No Mountain High Enough. Michael recorded a 2005 holiday CD, Through the Many Winters, A Christmas Album, that was recorded specifically for Hallmark Cards and sold exclusively through Hallmark Gold Crown stores. This collection of traditional and original holiday songs was certified gold within two weeks of the album’s release. With a career that has seen innumerable chart successes and sales feats and as an artist who has maintained consistent popularity and earned numerous accolades in both personal and professional arenas, McDonald remains the artist's artist and an enduring presence in popular music.

Michael McDonald, Pat Simmons, John McFee, and the rest of the Doobie Brothers 50th Anniversary sounded incredible. Michael's voice live is so rich and soulful. His piano playing is bluesy and he took us to church. Mark Russo on sax on the perfect touch. The Doobies wrote and produced true music that stands the test of time. Listen to the Music and keep Rockin' Down the Highway. It Keeps Your Runnin'!
Enmarket Arena Savannah, GAThe concert was awesome! The thrill of a lifetime for my daughter and me to see Michael McDonald with the Doobie Brothers in person -- they all sounded fantastic. Michael's voice blew us away! And seeing Steve Winwood as opening act was wonderful. It brought so many memories of my college years. What an incredible evening!
Pine Knob Music Theatre Clarkston, MIMichael works so hard on the stage—a real professional! He really “brought it” to Minnesota last night. It was a real treat to see him live and, based on the smiling faces and dancing in the seats I saw around me, others felt the same way. Looking forward to seeing him perform live again soon!
Treasure Island Resort & Casino Welch, MNHe’s a national treasure! Growing up in the 70s and 80s, he was ubiquitous and unmistakable. As much soul in his voice as anyone, and I finally got to see him. He didn’t disappoint! Also my first time at the Capitol Theater. It’s a hidden gem. The balcony seats are a well kept secret.
Capitol Theater Clearwater, FLLoved every second of strolling down memory lane. Michael’s voice is unbelievable. Lead guitarist was awesome as well as the saxophone player and the new guy from Louisiana. Most endearing moment was when Michael introduced his wife!! Amy has been singing with the band for over thirty years!!!
