Race fans attending the Food City 500 are in for a treat as they “Listen to the Music” during The Doobie Brothers 2016 Food City 500 Pre-Race concert on Sunday, April 17 at Bristol Motor Speedway.

The four-time GRAMMY Award-winning band will bring their powerhouse rock n’ roll to one of NASCAR’s biggest races. With iconic hits such as “China Grove,” “Long Train Runnin,'” “Listen to the Music” and “Black Water,” The Doobie Brothers will get the race day party started.

Led by original members Tom Johnston, Patrick Simmons, and longtime-member John McFee, the band continues to break genre barriers; most-recently releasing Southbound, an album of fan favorites re-recorded with some of country music’s biggest stars including: Blake Shelton, Zac Brown Band, Brad Paisley, and Toby Keith.

“We can’t wait to see the Doobie Brothers’ energetic performance at the Food City 500 pre-race concert,” said Jerry Caldwell, executive vice president and general manager for Bristol Motor Speedway. “They are an American musical institution with many songs guests will recognize and sing along to; it will be a memorable experience for everyone.”

The Doobie Brothers are excited to perform at Bristol, before they head off on their 50-city, co-headlining “San Francisco Fest Tour” with Journey and special guest Dave Mason this summer.
