ZOSO – The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience

ZOSO Celebrates 28 Years as America’s Premier Led Zeppelin Tribute Band

Over the 28 years and over 4500 shows since ZOSO came together as a group in the mid-90s, the seemingly tireless quartet has continued to earn its well-deserved reputation as being, in the words of The L.A. Times, “head and shoulders above all other Led Zeppelin tributes.”

Surely no singer ever captured the distinctive timbre, range, power, and seductive force of Robert Plant’s vocal delivery as adroitly as ZOSO’s lead vocalist and founder, Matt Jernigan. ZOSO co-founder Adam Sandling, the band’s multi-instrumental master of electric bass, keyboards, and mandolin, likewise echoes John Paul Jones’ myriad gifts to ate. What’s more, the band’s new blood has turbo charged the ZOSO formula even more: Drummer Bevan Davies’ impressive pedigree includes the drum chair in Danzig, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Static X, and regular gigs with The Cult’s Billy Duffy. Taking on the Jimmy Page chair for ZOSO in May of 2022, new lead guitarist James Volpe Rotondi brings an equally high-level CV to the table, as a former member of Humble Pie, Mike Patton’s Mr. Bungle, and French superstars AIR.

ZOSO doesn’t cut corners on either the look or sound of Led Zeppelin. Instead, the band draws liberally and meticulously from Led Zeppelin’s recorded live and studio output to present a vivid performance picture of the classic live Zeppelin of 1968-1977. No wonder the St. Petersburg Times noted that, in addition to the virtuosity and spot-on visual presentation, ZOSO is also “the most exacting of all of the Led Zeppelin tributes.” The Chicago Sun-Times put it even more succinctly: “[ZOSO is] the closest to the original of any Led Zeppelin tribute.”

ZOSO’s ongoing invitation of all generations, all ages, all backgrounds of Led Zeppelin fans, then, is a very simple one: Relive it … LIVE.
