Robert Alan Krieger, born January 8, 1946, in Los Angeles, is a musical performer and The Doors guitarist. He attended UCLA. “The first music I heard that I liked was Peter and the Wolf. I accidentally sat and broke the record (I was about seven). Then I listened to rock ‘n’ roll – I listened to the radio a lot – Fats Domino, Elvis, The Platters.
“I started surfing at fourteen. There was lots of classical music in my house. My father liked march music. There was a piano at home. I studied trumpet at ten, but nothing came of it. Then I started playing blues on the piano?no lessons though. When I was seventeen, I started playing guitar. I used my friend’s guitar. I didn’t get my own until I was eighteen. It was a Mexican flamenco guitar. I took flamenco lessons for a few months. I switched around from folk to flamenco to blues to rock ‘n’ roll.
“Records got me into the blues. Some of the newer rock ‘n’ roll, such as the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. If it hadn’t been for Butterfield going electric, I probably wouldn’t have gone rock ‘n’ roll.
I didn’t plan on rock ‘n’ roll. I wanted to learn jazz; I got to know some people doing rock ‘n’ roll with jazz, and I thought I could make money playing music. In rock ‘n’ roll you can realize anything that you can in jazz or anything. There’s no limitation other than the beat. You have more freedom than you do in anything except jazz – which is dying – as far as making any money is concerned.
“In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other’s art, so we can effect a synthesis. In the case of Tim Buckley or Dylan you have one man’s ideas. Most groups today aren’t groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves.”
Most people know Robby Krieger as the consummate music artist in his role as former guitar player and songwriter of the legendary band The Doors.
What shouldnโt be surprising is that creativity has no boundaries and many times artistic expression will spill over into more then one medium for the artist.
Robby Krieger is no exception as demonstrated in his creation of a collection of spectacular, never-before-seen works of artโฆnow available to art lovers and Robby fans.
Now, through the charity services organization, ART FOR A CAUSE, limited edition, giclee prints of his beautiful paintings will, for the first time, be available to the fans of Robby Krieger.
โI hope my paintings brings joy and love to art lovers for many years to come.โ – Robby Krieger

I'm a DOORS FAN BEYOND! My job luckily gives me the opportunity to meet TONS of music icons. I've meet some of Rock Industry Icons ppl would loose a limb to be given the chance to meet, Stones. Metallica, Van Halen, tones of others, & even Page & Plant. Now Page & Plant & Stones I was beyond nervous / star stuck, but when I met you Robby Krieger , IT WAS MY GRACELAND MOMENT, I WAS A KID MEETING HIS HERO! You gracefully signed all of my Doors albums and you will never know how much this meant to me! You are Rock & Roll, you & the Doors are ROCK & ROLL! THANK YOU!!!!!!
Worth checking out. Great show.
I've been to over 100 rock concerts in my lifetime and last Friday's show at the Whisky ranks up there in my top 3 shows of all time! Robbie played 2 hours and 45 minutes of the Doors greatest songs! It was something I will never forget!

I'll follow you from Pensacola, Florida to Los Angeles, California again and again! Thanks for an epic night with you and your band at The Whisky Robby! Fantastic musicians have great shows! Thanks for signing my book! There's some real funny stories in it like the one about when the draft was out and everyone of The Doors got called and what you guys did to be able to stay home and create the music you all wanted to! I would have been way, crazy, and half blind by the time that government tried to take me! Ha! Sending much love from Alabama!
Do it Robby, do it!!

A stop in Michigan would be awesome!
Thats a good name for a song! “I’ve got the post show blues…”
๐๏ธRaise your hand if you want to be as close to the stage as possible during a show!
Does "on it" count?
I was good right on the side of the stage by the sound and light man! The Whisky show was great!
Always close to the stage! ๐ (Picture is from last week)
Hello Mr. Robby Krieger , I would like to be at your show and be able to enjoy your rhythm. could you make my dream come true!?
The first time I saw Pink Floyd was General Admission in Detroit, '75. There was a 4 or 5 foot 2x4 wall about 5 feet from the stage for security to patrol. We were leaning on that. It was actually too close to really enjoy the show. Great to see 'em up close, but after a bit we had to move back some.
I’ll be flying from Puerto Rico to Pittsburgh to see your show with some friends in October. See you then!
Loved your show in Phoenix, Arizona!! Your son has Jim down on stage. Great band. Great sound.
I want a great seat with a view! Too old to stand that long!!!!!
At The Bull Run Restaurant some years ago, I was at the front seat at a front center table. You and I 'fist bumped' a few times after a song!
I basically stare at the drummer. In what must have been 1970(?) the Doors played at Long Beach Civic Auditorium and I think it was Albert King opening with his band with their tailored black suits and white socks. They were fantastic. The Doors played for a long time. John Densmore used a strange (green?) drumset with three mounted toms. They were fantastic. Truly inspiring.
We were Front and Center at the PBS gig! ๐ธ
Got to see you close up several years ago.great show!!
SOUL SAVAGES latest album phenomenal yes I wish I was that close
Yes we were at his concert inches. Away in ct
I love to ride the rail!
At the Whiskey A Go Go I prefer being in the balcony. That's where I was last Friday night July 19.
Back in 2007 in Helsinki saw you w/ Ray and got to feel your fingertips. I have washed my hands afterwards, though. A night to remember.
I sure do! Thankfully, for your show at the Wolf Den at Mohegan Sun, I WAS! You guys were fantastic!!!
I havea pretty good seat for your show coming up in Philadelphia
My hand is up.
Yep. I gotta feel be with them.

Awesome show!!! Awesome meeting you!!! Thank you Robby!!! Long live The Doors!!!!
Best guitar solo ever!! That keyboard dude made Ray smile down on you all!!! Amazing. You should come to Ogden Utah and do a show I know a venue. Tommy
Of the two singers you guys use, I sure wish the guy that sounded a heck of a lot more like Jim got more stage time… He was pretty great ๏ฟผ

Amazing show Robby
We were there, right up front. Best song of the night was "Who do you Love" And a very close second was "Soft Parade". When the Music's Over was also solid. Great show!
What a great show!
Robby Krieger When the music's over!!! Everything was great!! Robby I left a gift for you that has a T-shirt with it and a hand painted envelope!!! Pls let me know that your associate with the black hat gave it to you!!!โค๏ธ Totally loved the evening!! Thank you!!
I really enjoyed the guitar riffs on Peace Frog. Flew in from Detroit Michigan to see your show. The band played music very well! I am a newer Doors fan. Stayed in West Hollywood and saw the Alta Cienega motel, ate at Barney's Beanery a couple of times and accidentally came across the old Doors recording studio at Tail of the Pup and visited Venice beach. It was cool.
Was a great show! I’m also glad we know Waylon’s blood type now ๐๐ค. I’ll be back next summer if you keep doing a summer show at The Whisky
Love from Italy, Robby! โค๏ธ
Came out from Delaware to see you at the Whiskey!Loved “When the Music’s Over”! Loved the tribute to Ray! Also, Waylon found his groove as the show went on! Fantastic show!
When are you playing in SF Bay Area?
I never thought I'd see Soft Parade played live. You all killed the layered vocals at the end. It was SO WONDERFUL! Thank you!
What an awesome night the energy was amazing
Awesome night, we were there!
Great show Robby!!! Had a wonderful time!!
That’s awesome RK, people definitely remember you and your band
Wish we could have made the show. Robby, come up to the Neptune Theatre in Seattle. Saw you at the Strawberry Alarm Clock’s 50th anniversary gig, keep rockin’ Robby!๐ถ
