Zepparella at Terminal West on April 23, 2019

Zepparella, an all-female Led Zeppelin tribute band hailing from San Fransisco, performed at Atlanta’s Terminal West. This was their inaugural Atlanta performance, and they did not disappoint. From the first song to the last, they were like a hard rock freight train building momentum along the way. These ladies rocked the house while navigating through the best of Zeppelin’s hits from “Whole Lotta Love,” “The Ocean,” “Dazed and Confused,” and “When the Levee Breaks,” to name just a few, and they had fans engaged all night.
