I was able to speak briefly with the drummer, Paul Cooper after the show. I asked why they picked Zeppelin to cover. He said, \u201cI grew up going to see Zeppelin, and love the music.\u201d Led Zeppelin is an iconic band. Songs that you know as soon as the first note starts playing. Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham, John Paul Jones\u2026<\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t imagine being onstage performing songs like, \u201cBlack Dog\u201d, \u201cRock and Roll\u201d, \u201cImmigrant Song\u201d, and of course, the cover band is called, KASHMIR, they played, \u201cKashmir.\u201d The show was sold-out and rescheduled from January. A pesky Pennsylvania snow storm prevented the band from playing in January so they brought some extra heat to Bethlehem with some incredible performances.<\/p>\n<p>My friend and I had a blast singing along, they also serve food and drinks so, if you don\u2019t get dinner made or you don\u2019t get to stop some place for dinner, the Musikfest Caf\u00e9 has you covered. During KASHMIR\u2019s show, they also had bands playing outside at the Levitt Pavilion. It was a beautiful day, and there is always something to do at ArtsQuest.<\/p>\n<p>KASHMIR is made up of Jean Violet, the founder and lead vocalist. The vocals are INCREDIBLE. Jean Violet is singing his ass off. Kevin Slover is an amazing guitar player, and let\u2019s take a moment to talk about the bass player, and the drummer who proceeded to do his solo by ditching his drum sticks and using his hands while having everyone in Musikfest Caf\u00e9 clap along. You talk about a POWERFUL DRUM CIRCLE. The bass player, Lenny Lee was kind and signing stuff after the show with his band mates. My friend and I made a bunch of friends, we met a woman was excited for her son to show them the shirt and items they signed for him at the last show.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s more than a cover band though. They put a lot of work in. You can feel the love, and passion they have for performing, and engaging with the fans. People were singing along, so excited just to feel those feelings you take on at a concert. It made you feel like you jumped in a time machine, and got to see what we missed at certain concerts. Some people have been able to see Led Zeppelin live in concert, and that is beyond awesome. But, seeing KASHMIR, and feeling all the love they put into the show was so satisfying. Jean was singing his ass off, the band was playing and playing. They came back and did one last song after the \u201cone more song\u201d chant started.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always a great time at Musikfest Caf\u00e9. The volunteers, and the staff, security, the waiters, and waitresses. The bartenders. Every single person does an amazing job.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.artsquest.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.artsquest.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ledzeppelintribute.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/ledzeppelintribute.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kashmirrocks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/kashmirrocks\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>MUSIKFEST STARTS August 1<sup>st<\/sup> until August 11<sup>th<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.musikfest.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.musikfest.org\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Review By Janel Spiegel KASHMIR: Classic Zeppelin Live Saturday, July 13, 2024 at 8:00PM Musikfest Caf\u00e9 101 Founders Way Bethlehem, PA 18015 Musikfest Caf\u00e9 was rocking on Saturday night as &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/?p=132765\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">KASHMIR: Classic Zeppelin Live  |  Review By Janel Spiegel<\/span> <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":45182,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[69],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-132765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-in-the-valley"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Musikfest-cafe.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132765"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=132765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/132765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/45182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=132765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=132765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thevalleyledger.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=132765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
