Lez Zeppelin Are An Amazing Band Of Musicians

And all female too! It's Terrie Carr and I was excited to catch up with Lez Zeppelin founder and guitarist Steph Paynes to discuss the bands upcoming area shows, and I didn't expect to have such an amazing time getting a true vibe for what the band is about. Tribute Band? Nah.....So much more.

Who Are Lez Zeppelin?


Steph Paynes- Guitar- Mandolin, Theramin
Hilary Blaze- Drums/Percussion
Dana Athens- Vocals- Harmonica
Joan Chew- Bass, Keys, Mandolin

And as you will see and hear in this interview, capturing the essence of Led Zeppelin is what the band is about. Yes, the novelty of women playing Zep tracks live was cool when the band formed over 20 years ago, but what the band has come to represent is so much more. They have recorded with legendary Led Zeppelin engineer Eddie Kramer and have jimmy Page as a fan! (Which I discuss with Steph , including playing Page solos in front of the master himself!)
