“The music created by John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and my father John Bonham is timeless, groundbreaking and pure magic,” says JASON BONHAM. “I always feel closer to him while I’m performing their music and the response has been overwhelming.”

The critically acclaimed concert–JASON BONHAM’s LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE— is expanding the previously announced fall North American tour through mid November. The complete trek will begin October 12 in Riverside, CA and finish November 18 in Clearwater, FL; the full fall itinerary is listed below.

The show–a tour de force–is a spectacular rock concert with iconic Led Zeppelin rock songs, stunning atmospheric video and light effects which highlight the unique history that JASON BONHAM shares–in commemoration of his father John Bonham–with the legendary rock n’ roll band.

JASON BONHAM’s LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE (JBLZE) features BONHAM on drums, TONY CATANIA on guitar and theremin, STEPHEN LEBLANC on keyboards/pedal steel guitar, DORIAN HEARTSONG (in for Michael Devin) on bass and JAMES DYLAN on lead vocals. The band’s powerful live performance of Led Zeppelin’s classics takes concert-goers through a mesmerizing visual and aural journey as giant backdrops display iconic art, and BONHAM’s own historical video footage and photos give the show an intimate feel. Show highlights include a heartfelt duet with JASON performing “Moby Dick” off Led Zeppelin II alongside his father. JASON is honored to perform 20 hand-picked favorites encompassing the band’s albums including their 1969 debut Led Zeppelin (“Your Time Is Gonna Come,” “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You”), 1969’s Led Zeppelin II (“Thank You,” “Lemon Song”); 1970’s Led Zeppelin III (”Celebration Day”); 1970’s Led Zeppelin IV (“When The Levee Breaks” and “Rock and Roll”); 1975’s Physical Graffiti (“Kashmir”) and many more Led Zeppelin favorites.

Here’s a sampling what the press has been saying about JASON BONHAM’s LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE concert:

Rolling Stone: “Led Zeppelin’s magic was in effect …a rousing two-hour-plus set of classics from the Zep canon. The encore of ‘Whole Lotta Love’ coupled with ‘Rock and Roll’ earned a standing ovation.” -Ritchie Yorke (10/10/10)

Orange County Register: “Not only do they deftly recapture the feel of Zeppelin as we know it from those indestructible albums—the killing-floor grind of ‘The Lemon Song,’ the spacey slide-guitar glide of ‘What Is and What Should Never Be,’ the swampy stomp of ‘When the Levee Breaks,’ abetted both by John’s indelible wallop and his daughter Zoe Bonham on blues harp — but they also zero in on the improvisational fury that could erupt out of the group on stage.”-Ben Wener, (11/22/10)

Minneapolis Star Tribune: “The sound was big, booming, echo-y and dirty-like vintage Zeppelin live.” -Jon Bream, (10/21/10)

Buffalo News: “This show was a gift to Zeppelin fans. It reminded us at once how incredible this music can be in the concert setting, and how significant the body of work Zeppelin created remains. …People were freaking out from the beginning, as the band dove into a pair of sets that ended up leaving the gathered in a state of Zeppelin-esque befuddlement. The music is so completely awe-inspiring that any time one hears it done well, one reacts.”-Jeff Miers, (5/10/11)

Daily Herald: “…’BRILLIANT’ is a word that seems a bit underused in American culture. Ironic, since it is a word that adequately describes the sum of Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience.”-Doug Fox, (Provo/Salt Lake City, UT 5/23/11)
