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 shouldn’t 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 art…now 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.
“I hope my paintings brings joy and love to art lovers for many years to come.” – Robby Krieger

The Baked Potato, the legendary Los Angeles music venue opened in 1970, is doing their best to make it through these hard times and be there for future generations. There will be a benefit streaming concert this Saturday featuring the Steve Gadd Band to help keep the Baked Potato going while we all wait for this to pass. Robby and his band The New Experience recently played the Baked Potato. An amazing venue with an incredible vibe! We know times are tough for everyone, but we're hoping those of you who have a spare $20 will tune into the stream to help the Baked Potato survive. Please share if you can!

It's been an honor to know you and share the stage with you Robby....The songs you wrote will be played on the radio around the world forever...The Doors were one of the most unique and great American bands of all time.....wishing u good health and continued longevity......MS
He came to me in a dream 2-1/2 years ago singing lyrics I never heard before. I woke up and wrote down what I could remember. I finished the song the next day. Totally Jim Morrison. Would have loved to have Robby play on it.
Mr Krieger...your style of play helped me find my way as a guitarist. I love your work. I have studied it quite extensively. What the 4 of you accomplished is a incredible amount of solid effort. Timeless to the core.
I am proud to share the same birthday as Jim..Dec. 8th. Thanks for sharing the wonderful photos.
mrmojo you live on in our hearts and your music/words r.i.p buddy ❤️🎶😢😕🤘🏻
We only get one jab at this life Robby. And Good Sir at Least you had him and those moments . You changed the future of Music. You Both will live on forever. I am not taking away from what you meant though. I wish you could have had those times forever . I wished we all were immortal . All good man. Peace is the answer ...

Robby we wish too and I also wish I could of met you when you and Ray came to Chatham, Ontario back in 2010 Ray was amazing person and I'm sure you are too!
Robbie I wish so too!! But I did get to meet you and Ray in Huntington , long island before Ray passed on . You were both so sweet and while you were finishing up your dinner . I will never forget that . Also got to see you in Riverhead, NY where you shared a great memory about Jim and how he wrote Hyacinth House whilst at your home with hyacinths growing in the yard.. Jim and Ray live on with you,, And i will continue to go to your concerts and hopefully go to Cali next January for 'the day of the doors. ' I love the Doors and I will think of Jim on this fateful day.... and celebrate him on Dec 8
Robby, we are all glad you have had such a long and fruitful life, with more left...Jim didn't get to have the longevity, but you guys threw down some tunes that will always be remembered...R.I.P. Jim and Ray.
thanks for all the great music! love you!
You guys were so in sync with your movements as well as the audience! Forever in my heart!💜✌
My favorite band ever. The music you and Jim made together will never die. I play your music ALLLL the time and have a bunch of Doors t-shirts. ✌🏻
It is always good to enjoy every moment to the fullest, you never know when and how it will end. Big Boys♥️🎶
So crazy, he passed in 71. And your guys music is still being played daily till this day. Without a Sign of it stopping anytime soon.

Wow very cool! Look at you both Robby Krieger!
I was lucky enough to see you and Ray in Boston. Sure wish Jim and John could have been there but still a helluva show!
Visited his grave last May. Even though I was born 26 years after his passing, it was very emotional and I am a big fan of The Doors. R.I.P Jim Morrison.
Listening to isle of white show now. Amazing magic.
Although he had his demons; he was special and a tremendous talent!
