Ocheltree (John Bonham’s drum tech), Mike Orlando (ADRENALINE MOB), Glen Sobel (ALICE COOPER) and a full band performance by BURNING RAIN featuring Doug Aldrich (WHITESNAKE, DIO), Keith St. John (Ronnie Montrose), Sean McNabb (Sons Of Anarchy, Don Felder) and Matt Starr (Ace Frehley, MR. BIG).

Producers Brian Tichy and Joe Sutton have been creating unique celebration concerts since 2010, and have now combined them. Dubbed California Music Fest: 3 Days of Music & Madness, this festival coincides with NAMM January 22nd, 23rd and 24th, 2015. It also includes Randy Rhoads Remembered on Friday January 23rd, and Entwistle/ Moon: The Ox & The Loon on Saturday January 24th.

Bonzo Bash was the first of these shows produced by Tichy & Sutton, with the first one taking place September 25th, 2010, on the 30th anniversary of Bonham’s passing. 11 Bashes, 6 RRR’s, and 1 Entwistle/Moon later, they have taken Bonzo Bash to both coasts, with California Music Fest 2015 sure to be the mightiest one yet. The show highlights the industry’s top drummers playing their favorite LED ZEPPELIN tunes. Tichy/Sutton have taken this Bonzo Bash one epic step further by including all 4 Ludwig drum kits Bonham used throughout his career with LED ZEPPELIN. Each drummer will be accompanied by house band THE MOBY DICKS.

Bonzo Bash will be hosted by rock 'n’ roll Comedian Dean Delray, Bonzo Bash Producer Joe Sutton and show creator Brian Tichy.
