A Profile of Peace Frog:
This highly acclaimed act pays tribute to Jim Morrison and The Doors by recreating the magic and intensity of a Doors concert experience. Based out of Venice, California, lead singer Tony Fernandez lives out every move of Jim Morrison on stage and delivers a powerful recreation of true likeness in presence, vocals, mannerisms and spirit. Peace Frog is the drama and rock theater that made the Doors famous. Dark and spooky, mystical and hypnotic, the band demonstrates the ability to transform any room into an actual Doors concert experience. With intoxicating renditions of "Hello, I Love You", "Light My Fire", "L.A. Woman", "The End" and many of the Doors classic songs, Peace Frog has the crowd entranced! The attention to detail not only by Tony Fernandez, as Jim Morrison, but by the musicians that play the parts of Robby Krieger, Ray Manzarek and John Densmore can be described as a study in Doors musicianship. Jim Morrison can no longer perform live, but when you witness Peace Frog you will think you are at a Doors concert. It is a must see for all Doors fans and for anyone looking to experience an amazing recreation of a Doors show!
