Over the 28 years since ZOSO came together as a group in the mid-‘90s, the quartet continues to earn its reputation as being, in the words of The L.A. Times, “head and shoulders above all other Led Zeppelin tributes.” For starters, no singer has ever captured the distinctive timbre, range and power of Robert Plant’s vocal delivery as skillfully as ZOSO’s lead vocalist and founder, Matt Jernigan – whose flowing locks and stage moves evoke the Plant persona perfectly.
ZOSO co-founder Adam Sandling, the band’s multi-instrumental master, echoes John Paul Jones’ myriad of gifts to a tee, allowing the four-piece ZOSO to perform fully fleshed-out versions of classics like “Kashmir,” “Trampled Under Foot,” and “Stairway to Heaven”. The band draws from Led Zeppelin’s recorded live output to present a vivid performance of the classic live Zeppelin of 1970-1977. The band’s new blood has turbo-charged the ZOSO formula even more.
Bevan Davies, the band’s burly, black-haired drummer since 2015 provides Bonham- approved triplets, tympani thunder, and fat, lumbering grooves.
Taking on the demanding Jimmy Page chair for ZOSO in May of 2021, new lead guitarist James Volpe Rotondi (aka “Jimmy”) comes decked out in Page’s iconic dragon matador jacket, two-tone shoes, and cascading black hair. Rotondi wields his Gibson Les Paul and double-neck guitars with a huge, crafted tone that weaves together Page’s roots in blues, country, funk, and fingerstyle.
The band’s deep history speaks for itself. It’s that high- wire musicianship combined with ZOSO’s spot-on recreation of the mythic presence of Led Zeppelin that keeps their fans coming back for more.
