Led Zeppelin Tribute Bands
Bustle in your hedgerow is the instrumental quartet performing Led Zeppelin music based out of New York City. The band includes Dave Dreiwitz of Ween, Marco Benevento and Joe Russo of The Benevento/Russo Duo and Scott Metzger of RANA.
Fred Zeppelin is a tribute band to Led Zeppelin based in the original band's heartland of the West Midlands of England. Drummer Steve 'Blackie' Black also heads Midland talent agency and music organisation Moby Music- named after Led Zeppelin's drum solo "Moby Dick".
Although not endorsed or formally linked to Fred Zeppelin, or any of its associates or companies, it arguably has been the most supported by individual band members and their families. Robert Plant has been to see them four times and for some time, his quotation about them 'Accept no substitute' appeared on their flyers. Jason Bonham has also drummed with them in a one-off cameo encore appearance; his late uncle Mick Bonham used to introduce their shows in the family hometown of Redditch. Formed in 1993 by drummer Steve Black, bassist Kevin Brown, and guitarist Keith Jenkins out of a genuine love for the music of Led Zeppelin. The aim of the band was to reproduce, note-for-note the music of the original band, and not to dress up in the manner of an embarrassing "Stars in Their Eyes" cabaret act.Originally employing vocalist Rob Bloomer the band generated a loyal Midlands following - no surprise being the Zeppelin heartland. After Rob's departure, Steven Gale was hired to fill vocal duties. Bassist Kevin Brown left the group in 2010, and was replaced by Elliot Gavin. The band play numbers from every Zeppelin album, and include an acoustic set in their repertoire. With such a volume of great music to draw upon the Fredz pride themselves in never playing the same set twice in a row.
Lez Zeppelin is an all-female tribute act performing Led Zeppelin music based out of New York City. In 2007, they released Lez Zeppelin, with production by Eddie Kramer.
Other Led Zeppelin tribute bands include Swan Song - A Tribute to Led Zeppelin, Led Zepplica and Dread Zeppelin, a band that performs Led Zeppelin covers in a reggae style with an Elvis Presley impersonator on vocals. Robert Plant has publicly stated that Dread Zeppelin is his favorite Led Zeppelin cover band.
