Zoso – The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience (Friday 13, Music)
Sure, you could go see Robert Plant, headlining at the Kiva Auditorium on Saturday night – or you could check out Zoso – The Ultimate Led Zeppelin Experience the night before on Friday, March 13. The acclaimed tribute band – with more than 4,900 live shows under their belt – starts rocking out at 8 p.m. at Sunshine Theater (120 Central Ave. SW), and tickets (tickets.holdmyticket.com/tickets/455467) are only $32 (about a hundred bucks less than the real Robert Plant). Then again, if you’re half the Zep fan you say you are, you should probably check out both.
