I’m excited to be part of a special event at the 2025 Tribeca Festival, celebrating 60 years of The Doors. They’ll be screening WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE - a film that really captures the spirit of what we created together. After the screening, I’ll be sitting down for a conversation about the band’s journey, the times we lived through, and the music that’s still resonating all these years later. Hope to see some of you there. June 14, 2025, at the SVA Theatre in New York City. More info and tickets at the link in bio.

Happy Earth Day 🌍 Mother Earth has been keeping the beat for billions of years - it’s about time we start listening. This Earth Day, let’s tune in, take care, and give back to the planet that keeps us all in harmony. Every little action helps. What’s your way of giving back? #EarthDay Photos by Paul Ferrara.
Remembering the legendary Paul Rothchild on his birthday. He produced our first five albums - and what an incredible job he did! Take a look at this moment of Paul in the studio with us. Photo by Paul Ferrara.
In honor of #NationalPoetryMonth, check out this clip of me performing Jim’s poem “An American Prayer,” at the 2013 Bioneers Annual Conference. I think Jim’s prayer for America is pretty emblematic of what our country has been going through lately. Poetry is the rhythm of the soul, the space between the notes - just like in music, it’s where the magic happens. It’s another form of art that delivers a message.

Trivia: Can anyone guess what this is?
Bringing myself some “Mantra” this Monday with some meditation. I first met Ray at a meditation class back in the mid-‘60s, when we were looking for a more sustainable way to expand our consciousness. Meditation is a way to open your mind - without the destruction some other methods bring. It brings inner peace, sharpens focus, and sets the right tone for the week. Do any of you meditate?
