We’re honored to feature the Iron Cult Dancers in

We’re honored to feature the Iron Cult Dancers in the Playing For Change global collaboration of “Riders on the Storm.” As part of this powerful Song Around the World performance, their movement adds a deep visual and spiritual layer that connects rhythm, history, and community alongside music from artists across the globe.

In many Native American traditions, dance is a way of honoring ancestors, expressing identity, celebrating community, and connecting body, spirit, and the natural world.

“The indigenous retain a certain centeredness because they know in their bones that the land they stand on is home.” - @johndensmore

Happy Birthday to the unforgettable @janisjoplin.

A powerhouse voice of the late ’60s, Janis shared stages, scenes, and moments in time with The Doors during a transformative era in rock. Her raw intensity, fearless spirit, and unmatched soul continue to inspire generations. Today, we honor her legacy and the vibrant energy she brought to every performance.

Happy Birthday to the late Jim Ladd.

A pioneer of freeform rock radio, Jim was a true legend and a lifelong supporter of The Doors. In 1979, he created the four-part radio documentary “No One Here Gets Out Alive,” featuring extensive interviews with John, Robby, and Ray.

As Robby Krieger once said, “He was the best friend in radio The Doors ever had. Even when people forgot about us in the late ’70s, he kept playing our music.”

One of the artists helping “Riders on the Storm” reach audiences worldwide through our new collaboration with @playing4change is the Red Cloud Drum Group.

The Red Cloud Drum Group is an Oglala Lakota ensemble from the Pine Ridge Reservation, part of the larger Lakota Nation. In Native culture, the drum represents the heartbeat of the Earth and holds deep spiritual and cultural significance.

Their performance marks a full-circle moment supporting the Wicahpi Olowan Music Program... the first Playing For Change Foundation program in the U.S. serving Indigenous youth and communities, in partnership with the Indigenous-led nonprofit First Peoples Fund.

In 1965, two UCLA film students crossed paths on Venice Beach. Jim Morrison ran into Ray Manzarek, and when Ray asked what Jim had been working on, Jim sang a few lines of a song he’d just written: “Moonlight Drive.”

Right there on the sand, Ray heard something special. He told Jim they needed to start a band. Within months, The Doors were formed... the rest is history.

“While attending Bowling Green University, my budd

“While attending Bowling Green University, my buddy Ron and I were lucky enough to see Ray Manzarek perform live at the Agora Theater in Cleveland, OH... Ray started the show with “I Wake Up Screaming.” Along with his incense burning on the keyboard, bubbles came drifting up....I could see the concentration on his face, but he glided right through the song and all of its complexities, including hitting all the right notes going up and down the scale at the end of the song.” -Dave Neal
