Formed in 1975 in New Orleans, the band has stayed together for nearly five decades, continuing to evolve while drawing devoted listeners and new fans.

Rising from a reputation as a powerhouse cover act in the New Orleans bar scene, Zebra moved into the Long Island club circuit to be closer to major studios and labels. Years of relentless gigging, sometimes reaching 250 shows annually, produced two demo tapes that earned airplay on WBAB-FM in New York and WRNO-FM in New Orleans, notably for “Who’s Behind the Door?” Their momentum led to a 1982 signing with Atlantic Records. The self-titled debut, produced by Jack Douglas, went gold and became the label’s quickest selling debut, moving more than 75,000 copies in its first week, spending eight months on the Billboard charts, and peaking at number 29. Extensive touring followed, along with three studio albums, a live album, and a best-of collection, and a new release is underway to mark the 50th year. This concert highlights a milestone for a band committed to keeping classic rock alive, complemented by a Led Zeppelin set from Midnight Sun.
