Encompassing hits from the iconic band's entire career, including albums Led Zeppelin, Led Zeppelin II, Led Zeppelin IV and Physical Graffiti, the concert event celebrates the life and music of Jason's father, the legendary Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, with "...a band that recreates Led Zeppelin's music to such a degree that one can't help but close their eyes and simply listen..." [-Classic Rock Revisited].
At just 5 years, Jason could play the drums, and by 17, he was a member of the band Air Race. The group signed a record contract with Atlantic Records, recorded one album, and opened for big names like Queen, Meat Loaf, Ted Nugent and AC/DC. Additionally, Jason filled in for his late father, John Bonham to help keep his memory alive.
In 1988, Jason took his father's spot in the televised, first-ever Led Zeppelin reunion at the Atlantic Records 40th Anniversary concert, which included Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, and John Paul Jones. Later that year, he went on to tour with Page and recorded the album Outrider with him. In 1995, he represented his father again when Led Zeppelin was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Jason has toured, recorded and collaborated with a wide range of legendary musicians throughout his career including Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Paul Rogers, Slash, Jeff Beck, Peter Frampton, The Healing Sixes and many more.

Jason John Bonham (born 15 July 1966) is an English drummer. He is the son of Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham. After his father's death in September 1980, he played with Led Zeppelin on occasions, including the Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert at The O2 Arena in London in 2007...
In February 2009, Jason Bonham and James Dylan began working together in what would become Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening, a live homage to his father's band. In autumn of 2010, Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening embarked on their first North American tour and toured worldwide during 2011.
Bonham more recently played drums, along with sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson of the group Heart on vocals and guitar respectively, with successive additions of band, string and horn sections and choirs (including the Joyce Garrett Youth Choir) for a show-ending performance of Stairway to Heaven during the Led Zeppelin tribute at the Kennedy Center Honors hosted by Barack Obama in December 2012 while clearly emotional band members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones looked on. It was described as a "bring down the house" version.
In the Summer of 2013, Jason Bonham's Led Zeppelin Evening joined forces with the band Heart for "The Heartbreaker Tour" celebrating the music of Led Zeppelin.
