The Roadhouse Rebels feat. Robbie Krieger, Rich Robinson, Steve Molitz, John Avila, & Joe Magistro

After meeting on the Los Angeles music scene in the early 2000s, Robby Krieger (The Doors), Steve Molitz (Particle, Phil Lesh & Friends), and John Avila (Oingo Boingo, Mutaytor) have been playing together in various bands for over a decade now. With a mutual love of 60s and 70s soul, psychedelia, and rock’n'roll, the three formed the Roadhouse Rebels, and performed a raucous headlining set at Bella Vida in 2010. The Rebels are proud to announce their return to the Bella stage – this time, welcoming Joe Magistro and Rich Robinson (The Black Crowes) to the Roadhouse.

Fans of the Roadhouse Rebels can expect to hear a fresh takes on all The Doors classics, some of the Rich Robinson & Crooked Sun favorites, as well as a handful of soul and rock covers from the 60s and 70s. Although the band’s roots are planted strongly in songwriting, they leave plenty of room for improvisation and sonic exploration. This appearance at Bella Fiore is the first appearance of this incarnation of the Roadhouse Rebels featuring Robinson on lead vocals, but fans can also expect to see the group in Colorado, California, and beyond later this year…
