Kashmir is considered the nation’s No. 1 Led Zeppelin tribute show, and for good reason. The band, which prides itself on bringing fans a true audio and visual Led Zeppelin experience, offers perhaps the most authentic representation and energy of the mighty Zep on the touring scene.

Kashmir’s set is a playlist of classic rock radio, and their show not only features songs that have become the soundtrack to people’s lives but also pay homage to one of the most identifiable voices in rock history, Robert Plant, as well as other Zeppelin trademarks, like a Jimmy Page-inspired double-neck guitar and a John Bonham-style drum solo.

Zeppelin fans of all generations can experience Kashmir for themselves when the band performs at the Musikfest Café in Bethlehem on Saturday. .

Kashmir is Jean Violet (vocals/harmonica), Kevin Slover (guitars, theremin & bow), Paul Cooper (drums) and Felix Hanemann (bass, keys and mandolin).

I recently spoke with Violet about the band and more in this new interview.

Q: Everyone has their own opinion but as someone who sings the songs night after night, what do you think makes the music of Led Zeppelin so special?

Jean Violet: I always like to use the analogy of steak and potatoes. It’s been on the menu for hundreds of years. When something tastes good and people like to eat it then it’s going to be around a long time. I think classic rock is in the same realm as classical music — it’s timeless. We now have kids who are 12 and 13 years old coming out to see our show who are into Led Zeppelin.
