About Get the Led Out
Get The Led Out Live in Concert!
Led Zeppelin fans don't want to miss Get the Led Out, because they're the closest you'll get to seeing Jimmy, John, Robert and John Paul back on stage playing your favorite "Mighty Zep" hits like "The Immigrant Song," "Stairway to Heaven" and "Ramble On."
Get The Led Out is a group of professional musicians who are passionate about their love of the music of Led Zeppelin. Six talented rockers - Paul Sinclair (lead vocals, harmonica), Paul Hammond (electric and acoustic guitars, mandolin), Jimmy Marchiano (electric and acoustic guitars, vocals), Adam Ferraioli (drums, percussion), Andrew Lipke (keyboards, electric and acoustic guitars, vocals, percussion) and Diana DeSantis (special guest vocalist) - have made it their mission to bring songs from Zeppelin's legendary albums like "Led Zeppelin I-IV," "Physical Graffiti" and "In Through the Out Door" to life...and they're totally explosive.
Get the Led Out is no impersonator act but rather a group of musicians who were fans first, striving to do justice to one of the greatest bands in rock history. There's a reason why Philadelphia Magazine called them "perhaps the finest Led Zeppelin tribute band in existence." For more, visit gltorocks.com.
