Ray Manzarek & Robby Krieger of the Doors

Presented by: AM Productions & SLP Concerts

The Doors were born in 1965, when Manzarek met fellow UCLA film student Jim Morrison on Venice Beach, California. The singer’s poetry was a perfect fit for the classically trained keyboardist’s musical ideas, and eventually they decided to form a band. When Robby Krieger and John Densmore came onboard as guitarist and drummer, The Doors were complete. Though several bassists auditioned for the group, none could match the bass lines provided by Manzarek’s left hand. Signed to Elektra Records, The Doors released six studio albums, a live album and a compilation before Morrison’s untimely demise in 1971. In 2002, Ray rejoined forces with Robby Krieger and has been touring ever since, playing classic Doors material to sold-out crowds composed of longtime fans and newcomers alike.
