Description

With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture. This Asheville-based quintet, fronted by the charismatic and electrifying Reggie Headen, features an all-star, highly sought after group of musicians: Jonathan Pearlman (Musical Director and guitarist), Taylor Pierson (keyboards), Zack Page (bass) and Jay Hoots (drums). Pearlman says, “There’s something very daring, dangerous and dark about the Doors’ music. We’ve tried to capture that. We found it challenging to approximate their chemistry and alchemy. I believe that we got it right!”

Jonathan Pearlman (JP) is a veteran of the Western North Carolina Music Scene. Under his pseudonym, Alien Music Club, he’s recorded over a dozen albums of original music and produced countless amazing shows, selling out one after the other after the other. These shows include The Doors: Unhinged, Tom Waits: The Early Years, Leonard Cohen: The Deep Cuts, Paul Simon Meets Beatles and The British Are Coming!
