<\/div>\n

The Doobie Brothers<\/a> have shared a socially distanced take on their 1972 classic, \u201cListen to the Music.\u201d<\/p>\n

The performance features Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, John McFee and John Cowan, all of whom recorded their parts from their respective homes. Without any percussion or drums, this particular rendition of \u201cListen to the Music\u201d has an even breezier and lighter feel than the original. Not that it\u2019s without any depth or complexity; McFee\u2019s banjo and Cowan\u2019s bass tumble and rumble beneath the guitars, and all four Doobies combine for some characteristically soaring harmonies.<\/p>\n

At the end of the performance, Johnston shares a quick message encouraging fans to donate to the hunger relief organization, Feeding America<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Doobie Brothers\u2019 take on \u201cListen to the Music\u201d follows a virtual rendition of \u201cBlack Water,\u201d<\/a> which they shared back in April. And while former Doobie Brothers\u2019 keyboardist and singer Michael McDonald hasn\u2019t partaken in any full-band clips, he\u2019s shared a few at-home performances<\/a> of his own, including a full NPR \u201cTiny Desk\u201d concert<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Doobie Brothers were set to reunite with McDonald for a highly anticipated 50th-anniversary tour this summer, but in May the band was forced to postpone and reschedule<\/a> the dates because of COVID-19. The trek is now scheduled to launch July 17th, 2021 in West Palm Beach, Florida.<\/p>\n
