About This Event

About the Artists
The Doors
The Doors are a Los Angeles rock group that emerged in the mid-1960s, built around Jim Morrison’s vocals and lyrics with Ray Manzarek on keyboards, Robby Krieger on guitar, and John Densmore on drums. Their music paired blues-rooted structures with extended, trance-like forms, while Morrison’s volatile presence and frequent clashes with authorities became part of the public record.
Depeche Mode
Depeche Mode is an English group rooted in synthpop and darkwave, known for spare, structured songwriting and an attention to texture. Their work continues to circulate in New York City performance settings, including tribute programs at the Cutting Room that place their catalog alongside classic rock lineages such as The Doors.
