Tonight in live music: Mike Doughty at Crowbar

For a rather long time, Mike Doughty loathed the music he produced with his former post-jazz/alt hip hop rock band Soul Coughing. Then, in what I imagine was an attempt to shed some of that self-hate while reclaiming the songs he helped write, he re-recorded several Soul Coughing tracks as he initially imagined them and used PledgeMusic to fund its release. He must have remembered what he liked about that hip hop-infused sound, because he returned to it in his new crowd-funded album, Stellar Motel, which was produced by DJ Good Goose and features guests spots by rappers MC Frontalot, Big Dipper and Jay Boogie among others. Doughty hits the road in support with longtime collaborator Andrew "Scrap" Livingston on cello and presents his favored “Question Jar Show,” wherein, between songs, the duo answers questions from the audience placed in a jar onstage before the show. 7 p.m., Crowbar, Ybor City, $18.

Video for "Light Will Keep Your Heart Beating in the Future" (off Stellar Motel) below.
