Stairway to Zeppelin

Stairway To Zeppelin is becoming the #1 Led Zeppelin Tribute in the world delivering Led Zeppelin’s to-the-note studio and live recordings by four incredible musicians. Stairway To Zeppelin performs a show with visual effects and the latest in sound technology at low decibels with an unparalleled attention to a mix of the original recordings and live performances of the iconic Led Zeppelin. The charisma and musicianship in STZ is world-class bringing the goose-bump-excitement to the audience musically and visually. BTW NO Wigs! STZ does not distract from this most iconic music by trying to be Page or Plant with mimicked gestures or mannerisms. Can you imagine a symphony performing Mozart where the pianist is trying to act like Mozart? STZ’s Nashville based members resumes include Heart, REO Speedwagon, Wilco, The Black Crowes, Fee Waybill/The Tubes, Richard Marx, Garth Brooks, Jewel, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flats, Autograph, Quiet Riot… TV/Film credits; David Grohl’s film ‘Sound City’, Pepsi Co/Gatorade, The Brothers Osborne… Prepare to be transported to a time when rock ruled the world! You will surely agree that Stairway To Zeppelin is the #1 Led Zeppelin Tribute you’ve ever seen performed by four amazing musicians.

Guys & Dolls

Considered to be the “perfect” musical comedy, Guys and Dolls opened on the Broadway stage in 1950 and has had several revivals and a movie adaptation starring Frank Sinatra and Marlon Brando.  Set in a mythical New York City, Nathan, a gambler tries to find the cash to set up the biggest craps game in town while his night club performer girlfriend, Adelaide, laments that they’ve been engaged for fourteen years with no end in sight.  A fellow smooth-talking gambler, Sky, ends up chasing a strait-laced missionary, Sarah, on a bet.  From Times Square, to Havana Cuba, to the sewers of New York, this brassy and timeless show like Sit Down You're Rockin The Boat, Fugue for Tinhorns, and Luck Be A Lady Tonight will have you tapping your toes and humming along!
