Lez Zeppelin Playing Hardscrabble Day in Red Hook This Saturday

Lez Zeppelin takes the stage at Hardscrabble Day in Red Hook, NY this Saturday, Sept. 20 at 8pm. Since 2004, this all-girl powerhouse quartet has captured the essence, spirit, power and seductiveness of Led Zeppelin both onstage and in the studio becoming a worldwide phenomenon. The band's explosive performances are more of a "channeling" than a tribute. Never interested in impersonation, Lez Zeppelin sets its sights on the art and challenge of a group playing in communion. This has earned them the moniker: She-Incarnation.

In June, 2013, Jimmy Page attended their show in London and said of the group, “They played the Led Zeppelin music with an extraordinary sensuality and an energy and passion that highlighted their superb musicianship.”
