The Ultimate Doors Experience

About Me

Is Everybody In? Experience the Ultimate Doors Tribute Show...

The American Night, from Seattle Washington, takes the audience on an entertaining journey with the sound, theatrics, myth, and experience that were The Doors! The music is performed by musicians who are passionate about The Doors legacy, with an authentic live feel, using original vintage instruments to recreate the unmistakable energy and rock theatre that was a live Doors performance!

"The music was new black polished chrome And came over the summer like liquid night." -- JDM

The American Night is a complete Doors tribute experience with the parts of Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, and Robby Krieger faithfully delivered on stage. To experience an American Night show, is to step back in time to an evening of music, poetic drama, and the unexpected. The show unfolds before the eyes of the audience who imagine they have witnessed a legendary Doors performance. Sonically and visually, The American Night hits the mark.

Unlike some Doors tribute shows, which focus entirely on the part of Jim Morrison, The American Night is a complete Doors tribute experience. True to the original, The American Night employs no bass player, with the bottom end commanded by the left hand of the organist, Nate Christian. The organs used are authentic and identical in every way to those used by Ray Manzarek from 1967-1971. The sound is unmistakable.

Milo Anderson finger-picks the unique combination of blues, flamenco, and bottleneck slide guitar characterized by The Doors. His slides, jagged, wicked looking instruments, crafted from broken off wine bottle necks, recreate the haunting bath of psychedelic energy coined by Doors guitarist Robby Krieger.

As any true Doors fan will attest, the jazz inspired rhythms of John Densmore are a crucial piece to the The Doors sound -- percussionist Brett Rudy delivers!

Last, and certainly not least, the part of Jim Morrison, the ‘Lizard King’, is recreated on the stage, tugging and tormenting the audience into frenzy.

From classic songs Light My Fire and Break On Through to The End, The American Night presents a complete Doors tribute experience and wraps it in a bow of joy, horror, confusion, puzzlement, ecstasy, and rock theatre that was...THE DOORS!

Is everybody in? The ceremony is about to begin. Wake up!

The American Night is available to entertain at any club, venue, or special event in the western United States and beyond. For booking, contact the band via email at [email protected] .
