Robby Krieger

Rising to fame as guitarist and songwriter with the iconic band the Doors, as a solo artist Robby Krieger blends rock, jazz, psychedelia, and world music with a clean, expressive, and straightforward guitar style. The Doors'1967 debut album gave his fluid playing its first widespread exposure, and 1971's Other Voices allowed him greater room to present his talents as a songwriter and vocalist after the passing of vocalist Jim Morrison. After the Doors broke up in 1973, Krieger earned critical respect and a loyal following for his solo recordings. 1977's Robbie Krieger & Friends and 1983's Versions found him digging into the jazzy, primarily instrumental approach that dominated his solo work, while 2024's Robby Krieger and the Soul Savages found him adding R&B and soul influences to his musical formula.
