Artist History The Sonic Screwdriver is the music of Michael H. Doty. The debut album "Bohemian Savvy" is a taste of what is to come from this developing artist. An ever changing experiment in musical textures and forms, The Sonic Screwdriver will soon be taking on the world of live performance to promote the current album and music to come. Mike Doty has performed live in the past under the title of The Dotyboy Experiment which was mostly solo acoustic performances to showcase his endless vocal capabilities and songwriting expertise. Now with help of Matt Hitt(former bassist and vocalist of Moodring) picking up bass duties and Matthew Tranker(current guitarist and vocalist of metal band Aurum)showing off his drumming skills for this project, The Sonic Screwdriver music can come to life with a completely new texture.
