11:30 - 1:30  -  Zepparella

Welcome to Zepparella, four women intent on bringing the passion, the beauty, the aggression, the musicality of Led Zeppelin alive.

Zepparella delivers an explosive, emotional musical journey at every event. They take on the challenge of balancing their devotion to playing the songs as close to the original as possible, while taking advantage of their own musical communication and carrying the audience away on the ride.

The combination of personalities in Zepparella is something extraordinary. From the first time on stage there was such a strong musical connection that to the girls it felt like a homecoming. And in a musical career, that kind of connection may be the most elusive gift of all.

The players

Anna, the popular Bay Area stage actress, vocalist and solo artist, brings her seductive style and powerful range to front the band with consistently transcendent performances. Her soulful delivery is mesmerizing. For a list of her many projects and accomplishments, visit www.annakristina.com.

Gretchen applies her dazzling and emotive guitar playing to the leads. After her stint as Agnes Young in the top-grossing Bay Area band AC/DShe for three years, and then touring as the second guitarist in the national metal band BOTTOM, she now takes on the Page lines with an arresting virtuosity that can t be missed.

Nila's seminal bass playing, dark, beautiful, aggressive, melodic, fills out the bottom end of the band. Her joined-at-the-hip connection with Clementine began nine years ago in BOTTOM, and close to 20 trips around the US, Canada and Europe and three records have created the remarkably intuitive rhythm section that Zeppelin deserves. Nila also currently plays in the metal band Mudface with Ted Aguilar of Death Angel.

Clementine tackles the best rock drumming ever written with her own powerfully passionate style, bringing the Motown influence of the Bonham groove to the forefront. As Phyllis Rudd in AC/DShe and throughout the 9-year run of BOTTOM, she developed a heavy-hitting sound suited to attempt Zeppelin. The musical connection established with Gretchen in AC/DShe and the lifelong rhythmic conversation with Nila creates the bond required to do this great music justice. www.clemthegreat.com

 

2:00 - 4:00  -  Notorious
Notorious is the Bay Area's most exciting live dance party/rock show! The five guys and a gal started out as an 80’s pop band and have since mastered the world of 70’s disco and rock through the ages including current hits; playing songs from Madonna to AC/DC to the Commodores to Beyonce. You’re sure to hear that favorite song from any era… and you won’t be able to stop dancing... Decked out in hip, retro outfits, the sensational six have such a good time on stage, you can’t help but be infected with their spirited energy and positive vibe.

Since they began their career in San Francisco, the band has widened its fan base to include the greater Bay Area and well beyond.  They have performed at respected venues all over California and across the country(from Boston to the Carribean Islands), notably at Bimbo’s, Pac Bell Park and at the infamous wedding of Sarah and No Name on Alice Radio 97.3FM. They have shared a stage with Thomas Dolby(who sat in with the band), Berlin, Earth, Wind and Fire, The English Beat, Colin Hay(Men at Work) and Ozomatli, among others.

Notorious has become a favorite for weddings and all types of private and corporate events (their client list includes Yahoo, Monster, and Cisco... to name but a few!). They were recently named one of the hottest bands in the country by Modern Bride! The band is known for their professional attitude as well as their ability to connect and interact with an audience.
Wherever they go, the party follows…From the crazy guitar solos, to the dancing, to the great male and female vocals, a Notorious show is a guaranteed GOOD TIME!
