Towards the beginning of their set on Friday, September 27 at the Upstate Medical Arena at the Oncenter War Memorial, singer/guitarist, Patrick Simmons, founder, and the only consistent member of The Doobie Brothers, sang “There’s a wind that’s blowin’, such a lonely prayer/ Gotta keep goin’, now I’m halfway there,” from their 2021 song, “Cannonball.”
Continuing a tour that sees the group celebrating over 50 years together, The Doobie Brothers are surely more than halfway there, but as Simmons continued to sing, “I’ll follow this road where my heart’s still yearnin’, still got the fire, and the flame keeps burnin’.”
