The Doors Rising

Huge, huge thanks once again to our friend, and all round top guy, Todd Huffman of The Ultimate Doors: Tribute to The Doors for sending me this.

I read Vince's book when it was released and now very honoured and pleased to have this signed copy arrive today.

What an amazing community we have as doors fans and tributes.

If youre in the states, and theyre in town, then you have to go and see them.

Thanks again brother.

Thanks to everyone who came along to The 100 Club tonight. What a venue, what a crowd.

We didnt get any photos, but if you did (and video) then please post them here.

Last official gig with Carl, and what a great one to go out on.

Next Friday, 20th March The Doors Rising land at The 100 Club Oxford Street, London.

Keep an eye out for him in his purple t shirt (and likely matching face) somewhere near the back!

Run with me, run with me, run with me.....Let's run!

Glasgow! We return to the awesome McChuills in August.

This was a sell-out last time and will again so dont delay.

Where's your will to be weird man.

“Is everybody in? Is everybody in?”

There’s probably more tributes to The Doors kicking around than a lot of other classic bands have to them put together, but The Doors Rising are something special.

They don’t just try to look and sound like Jim Morrison and co. (although they really, really do), but they also go some way to conjuring that primal mojo they embodied, that attitude that was as belligerent as it was bacchanalian, that magical energy that could only come from one band…The Doors.

Seriously, you might have seen tributes to The Doors before, but unless you somehow saw the real thing back in the day, this is as close as you’re ever going to get to it.

The gig here last year was incredible and sold out well in advance, so we very much recommend you don’t sleep on this as…the ceremony is about to begin. 🙏🏻

The Doors Rising play McChuills on Friday August 28th. Tickets available from Skiddle via link in de comments and from Tickets Scotland.

We’re on the Fake It Out Loud Podcast!

We sat down with Sarah, host of , to talk all things The Doors Rising and what it really takes to honour rock’s most iconic and mysterious bands.

We get into how the band came together, the challenge of recreating the sound, atmosphere, and mystique of The Doors, stepping into the world of Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore and bringing those legendary songs to life for audiences across the UK and beyond!

🚨 New Episode is LIVE! 🚨

This week on Fake It Out Loud, I’m joined by The Doors Rising — a tribute band bringing the hypnotic sound, poetry, and unpredictability of The Doors back to the stage.

From recreating the mystique of Jim Morrison and the iconic sound of the band, to delivering two-hour shows packed with classics and deep cuts, this is a proper deep dive into what it takes to channel one of rock’s most legendary acts.

We talk about building an authentic Doors experience, capturing the wild spirit of Morrison, life on the road across the UK and Europe, and the challenges of recreating a band whose legacy is as much myth as it is music.

Still on a high from our trip back to The Netherlands last weekend and looking forward to returning in May and venturing into Germany at the brilliant Logo Hamburg and Theater, Dusseldorf.

Unfortunately, our planned Turkiye trip wont now be going ahead this year but we will revisit that next.

In the meantime, we cannot wait to hit our capital city at the awesome The 100 Club.

This is going to be incredible and a moment for us as we welcome back Carl on drums. One. Mo-ore. TIME!
