On Friday, March 28, Baker Street Centre welcomes Zepparella, an all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band, featuring vocalist Anna Kristina, guitarist Gretchen Menn, bassist Holly West, and drummer Clementine. 

The band was founded and formed in 2005 in San Francisco and have toured relentlessly. They’ve produced several videos and released a studio album and three live albums. They recently announced news of a new album this year, Zeppelin Forever, scheduled for late spring. 

I’m pretty sure this is their first time here, so we need to give them a … Whole Lotta Fort Wayne Love. 

General admission and Gold Circle tickets are available and can be purchased at bakerstreetcentre.com or at all Wooden Nickel locations.
