Musicians On Call Benefit Concert Presented by Endo
featuring Diego Garcia and Mike Doughty with special guest Mutlu

Diego Garcia

XPN Artist To Watch Diego Garcia played XPN's Free At Noon last September, his new album Laura came in at #13 on XPN's best albums of 2011 Year in Review List. The former frontman of Elefant also appeared on World Cafe.

Incorporating his Latin background, Diego Garcia's deeply reflective music calls to mind the likes of Leonard Cohen and Morrissey. Garcia writes introspective, often-anguished lyrics, and fuses the Spanish guitar with a more traditional folk sound.

Mike Doughty

With his off-kilter sense of humor and tendency to venture into realms of experimental rock and jazz, Mike Doughty performance at the Musicians On Call Benefit Concert from World Cafe Live in Philadelphia is certain to be another XPN crowd-pleaser.

Doughty led the now-defunct, genre-defying '90s band Soul Coughing before heading out on his own, beginning with his solo debut Skittish in 1996. His 2005 release, Haughty Melodic, contains the hit "Looking at the World From the Bottom of a Well," while songs such as "27 Jennifers" and "Busting Up a Starbucks" have helped Doughty gain recognition for his starkly emotional and often self-deprecating lyrics.

His latest album, Yes and Also Yes, followed closely on the heels of his electronic sampler, Dubious Luxury, which was released earlier last year. Doughty has played the XPoNential Music Festival, XPN's Free At Noon, and released Yes & Also Yes in August of last year.

Mutlu

Mutlu's music is a clever blend of soul, reggae, hip-hop, and Brazilian jazz deriving inspiration from Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, Bob Marley, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. Over the last few years he has toured extensively across North America and Europe with Hall & Oates, Amos Lee and Joe Jackson and has shared the stage with Adele, Eric Hutchinson, Katy Perry, John Hiatt, Leon Russell and G. Love & Special Sauce amongst many others. His debut album Livin' it was released by Manhattan/EMI records and produced by the late, great T-Bone Wolk. Livin' it featured guest appearances by Daryl Hall, Amos Lee, G.Love and Raheem DeVaughn. Mutlu is currently touring as a member of Amos Lee's band.
