🎸 NEW SHOW ANNOUNCED: GET THE LED OUT!

Jimmy Page could layer three guitars on a Led Zeppelin record. Onstage, he still only had two hands.

The Led Out has a solution. Six musicians. Every layer. When you hear three guitars on the album...GTLO delivers three guitarists on stage.

From “Whole Lotta Love” and “Kashmir” to deep cuts and acoustic favorites, the Philly band recreates the sound of Zeppelin's studio recordings with all the guitars, harmonies, and thunder. ⚡⚡

⚡⚡ON SALE TODAY⚡⚡

If The Wood Brothers are your people, put Seth Walker on your radar.
Walker has spent three decades moving between Texas blues, Southern soul, New Orleans R&B and some seriously good guitar playing. He’s a longtime collaborator of The Wood Brothers’ Oliver Wood and Jano Rix, and his latest album, Why The Worry, pulls from Bill Withers, Al Green, J.J. Cale and Michael Kiwanuka alongside his own songs.

👀The internet says you have about two seconds to keep someone watching👀

This video is five minutes long.

⚡Paul Janeway ⚡ leaves the stage, walks through the crowd, heads to the balcony, sings to the entire room, and eventually dangles over the edge.

Sorry about your attention span. This one’s worth it. If you have the chance to see St. Paul and The Broken Bones live, we highly recommend.

Come witness Paul Janeway turn the stage into a revival. And get here on time! The Psycodelics open, bringing Charleston funk-soul, disco, and R&B. They’re not a “grab a drink during the opener” band.

Tonight. 8PM The State Theatre.
