The 72-year-old Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s itinerary kicks off June 1 in San Juan Capistrano, California, and includes four more shows in the state that month, as well as three dates in the Northeast in late September.

Among the California concerts will be a June 2 performance in West Hollywood at the famed Sunset Strip venue The Whisky a Go Go, where The Doors were the house band early in their career.

The Robby Krieger Band‘s shows generally feature a set made up almost entirely of Doors songs. Krieger’s son Waylon handles lead vocals in the group, which also includes bassist Phil Chen and drummer Ty Dennis. 

Chen and Dennis were the rhythm section for the bands Krieger played in for years with late Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek.

Here are all of Robby’s confirmed shows, according to RobbyKrieger.com:

6/1 — San Juan Capistrano, CA, The Coach House
6/2 — West Hollywood, CA, Whisky a Go Go
6/8 — Agoura Hills, CA, The Canyon Club
