The Santa Barbara Museum of Art (SBMA) invites community members to join legendary Doors drummer and New York Times bestselling author John Densmore for a talk about his newest book “The Doors Unhinged,” 2:30 p.m. Sunday, Jan. 28.

Densmore will appear in conversation with novelist and art essayist Andrew Winer in SBMA’s Mary Craig Auditorium, 1130 State St.

Long admired by artists for his uncompromising dedication to art, Densmore occupies a unique space in pop culture.

His musicianship landed him in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His writing consistently earns accolades and has appeared in a variety of publications including the Los Angeles Times and Rolling Stone.

As Densmore’s friend and American novelist Tom Robbins recently advised him, “If you keep writing like this, I’ll have to get a drum set.”

Cost to attend the event is $5 for SBMA members, $10 non-members. Get tickets at tickets.sbma.net.

Signed copies of “The Doors Unhinged” will be available for sale before and after the talk from Chaucer’s Books.
