The Doors Experience is one of the most authentic tribute shows Australia has ever seen. This show will transport the hardest of critics back to the whisky in 1968. Singer Andy Sutton is the ultimate Jim.

Morrison as he struts his stuff with reckless abandonment. Vocally he has Morrison's voice down to a tee with a close your eyes and its Jim affect.

Playing the part of Robbie Krueger Adam Watts (Rattle and Hum/Australian Made) recreates those classic Doors solo's note for note. Our very own Ray Manzarek is played by Sean Phegan (Rattle and Hum/One Hit Wonders) you will lose yourself in those classic organ solo that are so authentic.

And driving this Ship from the rear is Vinnie bondin on drums pumping out those classic bosanova beat keeping it all together from first song to last. All this with the ambience of a classic Doors light show and stage props makes this a show not to be missed.
