Биография

Dread Zeppelin channeled the music of Led Zeppelin, Elvis Presley, and Bob Marley to create rock-reggae band endorsed by no less an authority than Robert Plant himself! Led by one Tortelvis, a larger than average Elvis impersonator born Greg Tortell -- the lineup also included guitarists Jah Paul Jo and Carl Jah, bassist Butt-Boy (Gary Putman), percussionist Ed Zeppelin, and drummer Cheese playing their debut live gig on January 8, 1989 (the 54th anniversary of the King's birth) in Pasadena, Ca. The group performed reggae-influenced renditions of classic Led Zep anthems capped off by Presley-like vocals, an approach perhaps best exemplified by gene-spliced songs like "Heartbreaker (At the End of Lonely Street)." The band has recorded a more than 25 records, and toured the world for 30 years. “It’s always nice, baby, when you get the old tip-o-the-hat for starting the genre” says Tortelvis, who now owns the Cash Cow Recording Co. with guitarist Gary Putman, and who still record for themselves and other lucky musicians who get the chance. An all original new Dread Zeppelin recording is due out by end of 2022.
