LIVE MUSIC: Red Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin's contribution to music,as well as their influence upon popular culture puts them among very elite company. and we are honored to be able to pay tribute. Hooked since Good Times Bad Times, the opportunity for the project became clear upon hooking up with vocalist Ryan Langseth. His roaring lyrics power the show while paying an eerily convincing respect to the man who originally voiced them. In order to infuse the intricate guitar techniques that Jimmy Page used in the studio, guitarists Paul Sorah and Adam Carder collaborate to add depth to live performance. Through this, we can achieve rowdy show dynamics as well as a sound more reminiscent of the albums.Read More
