January 11, 2010 – Formerly the frontman of the jazzy experimental rock band Soul Coughing, singer-songwriter and guitarist Mike Doughty cut his first solo record, Skittish, while that group was still together. Soul Coughing disbanded in 2000, but Doughty's 2005 album Haughty Melodic spawned his hit "Looking at the World Through the Bottom of a Well."

Awesome sound, pretty good performance, although he needs a full band.

I’ve seen Doughty a few times when he swings through the cities. I’ve seen him by himself, with his backup bassist Scrap, and a full band . I think his best shows are striped down as possible. He’ll be at the Dakota with his bassist in March.
