The Doors Rising

The Doors Rising is a tribute act devoted to the music of The Doors, performing at Alexander's Live, a concert and performance venue in Chester. The bill also names Stuart and Martyn.

The Doors Rising is a tribute to The Doors, the American rock group, and is not the original band. It began in 2017, when fans of the group took up the idea of forming a Doors tribute, and its first shows took place in Southport, where its early audience enjoyed the psychedelic music of the 1960s. Over the following years the act played regularly across the north west, from small venues to larger auditoriums, with several musicians joining and leaving the line-up.

The current line-up dates from 2021 and includes Andy Keegan on keyboards, and Carl Rice, who returned to the group with a background in 1960s and 1970s classic rock and blues. Stuart sings lead vocals.

Alongside the tribute act, the bill names Martyn, a Dutch dubstep DJ and producer born in Geldrop in 1975. Active since 2005, Martyn released on the Brainfeeder label, and the first album was Great Lengths (2009). Alexander's Live is a concert and performance venue in Chester.
