Minneapolis favorite Mike Doughty, former frontman for Soul Coughing and premier proponent of small rock, is coming back to Minneapolis on Saturday, March 22 and Sunday, March 23 for shows at First Avenue. Doughty has numerous Minneapolis connections: Soul Coughing was championed early by the late, lamented Rev105, Doughty rocked the Hennepin Avenue Block Party in July 2005, Doughty's solo live album, Smofe & Smang (currently out of print), was recorded at the Woman's Club in 2002, and Doughty's two albums for the ATO Records label, 2005's Haughty Melodic and the Feb. 19, 2008 release Golden Delicious, were produced by Dan Wilson (native Minneapolitan of Semisonic and Trip Shakespeare fame, as well as Grammy winner with the Dixie Chicks and successful solo artist).
Doughty has a blog and the obligatory Myspace page. As of this afternoon (the first day of presale ticket availability for the current Doughty tour), the Saturday pre-sale is sold out but tickets remain for the Sunday show; the single date in Chicago at the Vic Theatre is also sold out, but pre-sale tickets remain for all other shows.
