Featuring Nate on vocals, Craig Von Berg on keyboards, June Beard on drums, Jeff Fetters on guitar, and Rob Darby on bass, the band had a strong, bluesy feel, and got solidly in the groove on extended versions of such classics as "Light My Fire" and "Riders on the Storm."

Nate has begun assembling a crew of traveling all-stars; he has also put together bands to play tributes to the Beatles and Pink Floyd (all with success). Club Fred was packed for the Doors' show; manager Tony Martin (who's doing a great job of keeping live music in Fresno) said the turnout for the previous night's Miss Alans' show was even stronger.

With Soho also beginning to feature live music, it appears that the local concert scene in Fresno is picking up (partly due to increased fan support). The Doors show was terrific. Get out there and catch a gig!
