New Jersey’s own band from Plainfield The Doughboys will share the stage with Robin Trower this Sunday at the Starland Ballroom.
If you haven’t seen the Doughboys yet, you have been missing something really fantastic. The Doughboys are a band that will give you all you are looking for in a garage rock band. They have a great energy, a powerful drum solo, and great showmanship that has been there for years. The Doughboys always please the crowdon any given night.
This legendary NJ band , who came together in 1965, reunited in 2000, have released this treasure trove of instant classic covers and originals with cool obscure rock'n'roll cuts.
The Doughboys performance is always a show with a solid play list of 60’s classic including covers from The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds,
Animals and The Who ect. Their show also includes a focus on the band’s original tracks from their album “Is It Now?” like the song Black Sheep. Lately their show includes new songs from their soon released new album “Act Your Rage”.
The Doughboys lead singer Myke Scavone who was the lead singer of Ram Jam and scored their big hit "Black Betty" in 1977, brings to the stage energy and showmanship. Myke Scavone toured and opened for Robin Trower (Procol Harum) back in 1977 when Myke was with Ram Jam. Now they share the stage together again at the Starland Ballroom this weekend. The Doughboys drummer is legendary Richard X Heyman who has played drums with legends like Brian Wilson and Link Wray and embarked on a solo singer/songwriter career. Bass player Mike Caruso went into session work and even jammed with Hendrix! Guitarist Gar Francis gives the band static with smooth riffs and great charisma similar like Keith Richards does for the Rolling Stones.

d album by the Doughboys has also been picked as the “Coolest Song in the World” for the week of September 4, 2009 written by Gar Francis. Gar played the Keith Richards role in Rolling Stones tribute band Sticky Fingers (The World’s Greatest Rock & Roll Tribute Band).The Doughboys are a class act, very professional and can certainly entertain any size crowd. They have played at clubs in New York, like the Cutting Room, Arlene’s Grocery, The Living Room, BB King and Kenny’s Castaway.
