Due to health circumstances, Doobie Brothers bassist Skylark will be temporarily absent from the Doobie Brothers’ 2010 tour. Filling in on bass is John Cowan, who many of you may remember was part of the Doobies’ touring lineup in the early 1990s.

All of us are wishing Skylark a full and speedy recovery, and we are hoping he can rejoin the tour at some point in the Summer!

On March 28th, CBS Sunday Morning featured Doobie Brother Pat Simmons, and his wife Cristine Sommer-Simmons, author of The American Motorcycle Girls: 1900 to 1950.

The piece discusses the various contributions of women within the motorcycling community, and the lifestyle of those who are part of this great American tradition. Some of the women who appear in Cristine’s book are featured. Additionally, the show details how Pat originally met Cristine at a motorcycle rally in Sturgis, South Dakota, and how their mutual love of the hobby brought them together.

Back by popular demand, the Doobie Brothers / Chicago tour has been announced for Summer 2010! Check the tour dates page for the dates nearest to your area.

In other news, The Doobie Brothers are currently finishing the mixes for their as-yet untitled upcoming studio album. No release date, tracklisting, or other information has been announced yet, but watch this space for official news regarding the album. If you don’t see it here, it might not be true!

The band is currently rehearsing songs from the new album to play live on the 2010 tour, so you may catch a new song or two live soon!

Doobie Brother Pat Simmons has recently produced some songs on the new album Simple Truth by Maui singer-songwriter Gail Swanson. The album has just been released, and other familiar names of those participating in the project include: John McFee, Michael McDonald, James “Hutch” Hutchinson (bass player for Bonnie Raitt), Hawaii’s amazing John Cruz, and music icon Willie Nelson.

Says Pat, “Gail is one of my closest friends here in Maui. She opened the Doobies’ first concert at the Maui Arts and Cultural Center 15 years ago. Since then we have played together many times, shared a lot of musical ideas, and enjoyed the opportunity to explore writing and recording together. It’s been so much fun, and I’m real proud of her and the CD.”

Pat’s wife, Cris collaborated with Gail to write the song “The One That Got Away.” When they played the first mixes for Willie Nelson, he liked the song so much, that he asked to sing and play on the track. After he was finished, he was so happy with the result, that he decided to include the song on his album of duets, tentatively titled, “Willie And The Girls”.

Michael McDonald makes his debut on the ukulele, playing and singing with Gail on the beautiful song, “End Of The World.” John McFee‘s incredible dobro playing can be heard on “Matter To You”, along with Hutch, Mike, and Pat, joining in on various instruments and background vocals.

Gail’s amazing cover of the John Cruz tune, “Missing You” (with the writer singing backgrounds and playing guitar) is inspiring, and is definitely one of the high points of the the album. We could go on and on here, but you should check this wonderful ten song album out for yourself. Click here to go to Gail’s website where you can listen to clips and purchase the CD, or purchase the CD at Amazon.

Many of the artists on the album will be performing with Gail at her CD release party, on Feb. 5th, at Mulligan’s On The Green, in Maui, recreating many of the songs from the CD live for the first time ever. It should be an exciting and fun event. If you’re visiting in Maui at that time be sure to stop in and join the party. This is going to be a unique, and one of a kind experience.

It is with great sadness, and heavy hearts that we write this. Our dear friend Norton Buffalo passed away yesterday, October 30th. He had been diagnosed with lung cancer not long ago, and though he fought hard to regain his health, the cancer was just too far advanced. He is beloved by his friends and family, and will be missed by us all. He has been our friend and musical collaborator for many years, appearing on several albums by the Doobie Brothers, and various band members throughout the years. Always an amazing player, and innovative talent, he brought so much energy, and unique creativity to any performance.

As a friend he was always loyal and true, and we are proud to be able to call him our brother. We send our sincere condolences and love to his wonderful wife Lisa, and all his family. Among countless other credits, Norton was an important member of the Steve Miller Band, and toured and recorded for over 30 years with Steve. Our condolences to Steve and the band as well. There will be a concert in the San Francisco Bay Area to honor Norton’s memory, and to raise much needed funds to help cover medical expenses, etc. Steve Miller, The Doobie Bros., Bonnie Raitt, Huey Lewis, Roy Rogers, and possibly others, will be performing. The tentative date for this is Jan. 23rd., with possibly another night added. Check our website for any updates and details in the coming weeks.

Thanks, Norton for all the great music, and memories. We’ll never forget you.
