Prince George, B.C.- The Doobie Borthers are coming to the  CN Centre in Prince George this fall.

The four time Grammy winning band  hit  number 1 on the charts with singles “Black Water” (1974) and “What a Fool Believes” (1979), both gold, and a string of tunes  including  “Jesus Is Just All Right”, “Rockin’ Down the Highway”, “Long

Train Runnin’”, “China Grove”, “Take Me In Your Arms”, Takin’ it to the Streets”, “Minute by Minute”, “You Belong to Me,” “The Doctor” and more. In all, the Doobies  tallied up five top 10singles and 16 top 40 hits.

Singer-songwriter-guitarist Pat Simmons says, “We have entered a territory that we never imagined for ourselves, as far as being a part of the cultural landscape. It’s kind of odd when you see your songs in television commercials and hear yourself as background music in a commercial business, but it’s cool. I hear B.B. King in the same places. We’re in good company”

Simmons says, “We have a hardcore fan base that has handed our music down through the years to their children and their children’s children. Repeatedly, people go to our concerts and come up to us and say, ‘My dad turned me on to you guys years ago, and I’ve loved you guys all this time, and my kids are listening to you now.”

The show  is set for Friday, October 24, 2014, tickets  go on sale this Friday morning at all Ticketmaster outlets.
