The former frontman for “slacker jazz” group Soul Coughing, Mike Doughty has a deep history of online experimentation, blogging before Blogger and self-publishing his solo album Skittish on his site after it found a cult following on Napster. His last three albums were funded directly by fans through Pledge Music, most recently his upcoming Stellar Motel, where he’s posted exclusive videos during the recording process. Doughty will be joined by long-time collaborator Andrew “Scrap” Livingston on cello.
