Rich new solo music from the former leader of Soul Coughing
In 1992 Mike Doughty was working as a doorman at New York’s legendary Knitting Factory club. With musicians he met there he formed Soul Coughing, a great 1990s band whose unclassifiable mix of rock, beat poetry, hip-hop, and electronica gained in passionate admiration what it lost in mainstream success. The reasons for Soul Coughing’s 2000 breakup included Doughty’s own drug addiction. His reinvention of himself as a solo singer-songwriter has brought new creativity, warmth, and, dare we say it, a bit of lightening up as he has sung, written, and blogged about a huge range of topics from the personal to the political to the whimsical. Mike comes to Michigan with a new release, “Yes and Also Yes,” that includes one song in German and other accompanied by a Chinese zither.
