Artisan News recently caught up with drummer, JASON BONHAM, the son of legendary LED ZEPPELIN drummer JOHN BONHAM. He talks about "the hold-out of Robert Plant for a Zeppelin reunion, and recalls his memories of 2007's reunion show in support of Ahmet Ertegun, while saying fans were positive toward his LED ZEPPELIN EXPERIENCE, featuring footage of his late father."

According to Reuters, the Jason Bonham Led Zeppelin Experience tour grossed $2.1 million after playing 38 cities and cracked the top 50 of trade publication Pollstar's annual top tours list. Bonham is expected to launch a second leg in the spring, although details have not been announced.

Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Experience - a unique trifecta of an amazing rock concert featuring the unforgettable blues-rock of Led Zeppelin, an over-the-top video and light show as well as the personal history that Jason Bonham shares in commemoration of his father with the legendary rock n’ roll band - just wrapped a successful 39-city North American tour.

The critically acclaimed North American trek (see critical soundbites below) stunned audiences and featured Jason Bonham on drums, Tony Catania on guitar and theremin, Michael Devin on bass, Stephen Leblanc on keyboardists/pedal-steel guitars and James Dylan on lead vocals. The tour included a roof-raising, jam-packed show at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood late last month which saw Jason's younger sister Zoe Bonham perform blues-harp on the Zeppelin classic 'When The Levee Breaks'.

“I never imagined we’d receive the reaction we’ve been getting,” explains Jason. “It’s beyond my wildest dreams to come out represent my family, my father and the music of Led Zeppelin.”
