Celebrating their 30th anniversary in 2025, Zoso has become one of the most iconic and respected Led Zeppelin tribute experiences in the world, having played over 4,800 shows across the globe. Known for their unparalleled dedication to faithfully recreating the legendary band’s live performances, Zoso has earned accolades from both critics and fans alike.
 Zoso’s live performances focus on the raw energy and intricate musicality of Led Zeppelin’s best-known hits and deeper tracks, with a particular emphasis on recreating their live show experience. The band’s commitment to authenticity has earned them praise from major outlets, with the LA Times calling them “head and shoulders above all other Led Zeppelin tributes,” and the St. Petersburg Times describing them as “the most exacting of all the Led Zeppelin tributes.”
 The band was founded in 1995 by Matt Jernigan and Adam Sandling, both renowned for their exceptional musicianship and passion for Led Zeppelin’s music. Jernigan, who takes on the colossal role of Robert Plant, has a commanding stage presence that rivals the icon himself. Sandling, who brings John Paul Jones to life, masterfully plays bass, keyboards, and mandolin, replicating the multifaceted talent of the Zeppelin legend.
 In 2015, Bevan Davies joined Zoso on drums to master the part of John Bonham. An accomplished touring and studio drummer with a resume that includes playing with such artists as Danzig, Jerry Cantrell (of Alice in Chains), and Static X and many more. Davies brings an unmistakable power and precision to Zoso’s live shows, helping the band recreate Bonham’s legendary drum sound. His performance of Bonham’s legendary Moby Dick is something to behold.
In 2025, at the age of 24, Holston Rainero joined the band, taking on the monumental guitar role of Jimmy Page. A fan of Zoso, Rainero didn’t let an opportunity slip away when he learned of an opening in the band’s lineup. His story read like something straight out of a movie script; Rainero reached out directly to the band through social media to request an audition. While dozens of musicians had already contacted the band with no success, Rainero’s determination set him apart.
Refusing to take no for an answer, he began uploading videos of himself playing classic songs from the band in his bedroom. It didn’t take long for the band to recognize his extraordinary talent. His playing was not just skilled, it was a truly inspired performance, with the technical mastery and soul that made it clear he was something special.
The band immediately got him to Atlanta for an in-person audition. Rainero, ever ready, arrived with his bags packed, knowing he was prepared to seize the moment. His live audition exceeded all expectations, and within days, he was on tour with the band, stepping into one of rock history’s most iconic roles.
The band has now embarked on its 30th anniversary headlining tour.
