Band overview

Young talent crushing the classics.

iHeartZep brings seven accomplished musicians together in a tribute to Heart and Led Zeppelin.

Fronting the band are vocalists Carly Rhoades and Emma Price, who both provide advanced vocal instruction in Vacaville and the Sacramento Valley. Their powerful vocals lead a celebration of two of rock’s most distinctive catalogs, backed by guitars, keyboards, bass, and drums.

The lineup includes several former members of the now-retired Skynnyn Lynnyrd band. With twenty years of tribute performance experience among its members, iHeartZep brings seasoned musicianship and a shared commitment to capturing the sound and spirit of the original bands.

From Barracuda and Magic Man to Immigrant Song and Kashmir, the repertoire celebrates the music that continues to connect lifelong fans and new listeners. Dedicated to keeping the spirit of rock ’n’ roll alive, iHeartZep brings that energy to a show built for theaters, festivals, clubs, and private events.

Seven musicians perform everything live, mixing Heart and Led Zeppelin songs throughout a show of approximately two hours. Timing and breaks vary with the set list created for each show. The repertoire includes 20 Heart songs and 14 Led Zeppelin songs.

Technical

Stage and input list.

23 mono channels. Plan for a stage approximately 24 feet wide by 14 feet deep. The band brings the instruments.

Stage directions are from the performers’ perspective, facing the audience: stage right is audience left, and stage left is audience right. Stage right holds the keys and guitar station: Moog, main keyboard, Axe-FX, and an acoustic guitar behind the keys. The bass amp and bass player are beside that station. A Yamaha MX synth sits between the bass player and the lead singers.

Drums are upstage center on a riser that is 7 by 7 feet at minimum, so the kit can be condensed. The kit is three rack toms, two floor toms, two crashes, and a ride. Confirm riser height and access with the venue. The band may bring two bass drums. Only one is mic’d and played, using a double pedal. Two lead vocal mics are downstage center. Stage left holds an acoustic guitar beside the drums, two guitar amps, and two guitar players. The guitarist closer to center has a vocal mic.

Monitors are seven wedges, one per person including the drummer. Each wedge is its own mix, set at soundcheck. No in-ear monitors. The band supplies keyboards, amps, and all instruments, including drums. The venue supplies the PA, microphones and stands, five DI boxes, monitor wedges and mixes, and other sound equipment.

Allow approximately one hour for load-in and setup, plus 45 minutes for soundcheck. Timing may vary by show; confirm the schedule and usable stage footprint during the advance. No dedicated sound engineer travels with the band; coordinate sound-engineer arrangements with the venue.

No special power requirements. Provide power drops near the keyboards and amps. Arrange hospitality through booking.

23-channel mono input list. One mono channel per keyboard.
