John McFee is a highly regarded guitarist, songwriter, and musician whose career spans decades of influential rock and country-rock music. Born September 9, 1950, in Santa Cruz, California, he rose to prominence joining The Doobie Brothers in 1979, contributing to studio work starting with One Step Closer in 1980. He later co-founded Southern Pacific, delivering major country hits such as New Shade of Blue and Honey I Dare You. McFee rejoined The Doobie Brothers in 1993 and has continued to contribute as a core member, including lead vocals on Angels of Madness from the Sibling Rivalry era. In 2020, The Doobie Brothers were inducted into the Rock Hall of Fame, with additional Songwriters Hall of Fame recognition for band members anticipated in 2025. The 2025 release Walk This Road marks a notable return for the band with Michael McDonald, and McFee remains a central figure on tour across North America. We’ve got you covered for tickets to his live performances, with easy, no-fuss purchasing.
