The International Entertainment Buyers Association has announced that the Doobie Brothers are among those to be inducted into its Hall of Fame at its annual conference on September 30.

Bruce Cohn, the band's longtime manager, will be inducted along with the band.

"The IEBA Hall of Fame induction is an honor in itself," Cohn says. "I can't tell you how much more it means to be inducted simultaneously with the band.

We have accomplished so much together and will continue to achieve even more in the future. We have a brotherhood that I am proud of, and — even after 44 years together — I think some of the most exciting times are just around the corner."

The IEBA's 2014 Honors and Awards Ceremony will be held at the CMA Theater at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum in Nashville.
