For tonight's show at Hard Rock Live, singer Michael McDonald will be armed not only with a hefty stack of well-known classics but also with material from last year's Wide Open, his first full release of new original studio material in 17 years, but McDonald has hardly been idle during that time period. He's collaborated with a number of contemporary artists including Thundercat, Solange, Snarky Puppy, Grizzly Bear and many more. He'll also release a new Christmas compilation next month.
