Experience Zebra's 50th Anniversary At City Winery Hudson Valley

80's rockers bring 50th anniversary tour to City Winery Hudson Valley in Montgomery, NY on Friday, October 10th.

Zebra is a band I've loved since childhood. Being a child of the 80s, my first introduction to the band, "Bears" appeared on Zebra's second studio album No Tellin' Lies. I first heard the song after purchasing a hard rock/heavy metal compilation cassette at a flea market when I was like 8 years old and I became a fan of the band from that day forward.

Zebra was founded in New Orleans, Louisiana in 1975 by Randy Jackson along with bassist/keyboardist Felix Hanemann and drummer Guy Gelso. The band moved to Long Island, New York in 1977 and were big on the Long Island club circuit throughout the '80s along with bands like Twisted Sister and Rat Race Choir, often playing shows all around New York.

The band signed to Atlantic Records in 1982 and their debut album Zebra would go gold becoming the fastest-selling debut in Atlantic Records history. The band toured as openers for bands like Aerosmith, ZZ Top, Journey, Cheap Trick, Loverboy, Sammy Hagar, and Reo Speedwagon. Randy Jackson and Zebra are members of the Long Island Hall of Fame.

Zebra performed at the WPDH Mistletoe Jam holiday concert at MJN Center in Poughkeepsie with Blue Oyster Cult back December 2024 playing to an enthusiastic crowd of classic rock lovers. In December 2023 they made their debut at City Winery Hudson valley where they played a sold out show. They return to the popular Montgomery, NY on Friday.
