Get the Led Out
Get the Led Out

From the bombastic and epic, to the folky and mystical, Get The Led Out (GTLO) have captured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin and brought it to the concert stage. The Philadelphia-based group consists of six veteran musicians intent on delivering Led Zeppelin live, like you’ve never heard before. Utilizing the multi-instrumentalists at their disposal, GTLO re-create the songs in all their depth and glory with the studio overdubs that Zeppelin themselves never performed. When you hear three guitars on the album...GTLO delivers three guitarists on stage. No wigs or fake English accents, GTLO brings what the audience wants...a high-energy Zeppelin concert with an honest, heart-thumping intensity.

Dubbed by the media as "The American Led Zeppelin," Get The Led Out offers a strong focus on the early years. They also touch on the deeper cuts that were seldom, if ever heard in concert. GTLO has amassed a strong national touring history, having performed at major venues across the country, including Colorado’s legendary Red Rocks.

Laurie Berkner LIVE!
Laurie Berkner LIVE!

Bestselling, award-winning children's recording artist Laurie Berkner is widely recognized as the uncrowned queen of children’s music. Laurie's albums, released on her own label, have been best sellers on a chart typically dominated by movie soundtracks and major label compilations.  Her debut DVD, which went quadruple platinum, was the first-ever indie children’s music DVD to enter Billboard’s Top Music Video chart at #1. Laurie’s twelfth album, Laurie Berkner: the Dance Remixes, was released in September 2017. 

 

A longtime fixture on TV’s Nick Jr. and Sprout channels, Laurie was the first recording artist to ever appear in a music video interstitial on Nick Jr. and was a beloved presence on Jack’s Big Music Show. Laurie’s music videos now appear regularly on NBCUniversal’s Universal Kids channel.

 

Laurie has written the music and lyrics for three Off-Broadway children's musicals produced by New York City Children’s Theater: Wanda's Monster (2013), The Amazing Adventures of Harvey and the Princess (2014), and Interstellar Cinderella, which debuted in November 2017.

 

Between spring 2017 and summer 2018, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers is publishing a series of three picture books with Laurie, each based on one of her songs. We Are the Dinosaurs was released in March 2017, Pillowland in was released in November 2017, and Monster Boogie is set for publication in July 2018.
