Sold Out Zeppelin Tribute Benefit Show — Key West Theater July 2021
Wayne 'Led' Sorbelli's Zeppelin Tribute and Parrothead Massacre sold out the Key West Theater on July 31, 2021, raising money for kids fighting cancer through Nicky's Celebration.
Please share this — it's the entire Led Zep tribute set from the kids' cancer benefit concert on July 31, 2021 at the Key West Theater.
We Kicked Cancer's Ass That Night
It was a beautiful July 31st evening at the Key West Theater, benefiting Nicky's Celebration — a local non-profit helping local families fight pediatric cancer.
Me and my very recently assembled Wayne "Led" Sorbelli's Tribute to Led Zeppelin Show band — consisting of 12 of the loveliest, hardest working musicians I know, rotating duties as their personal and professional schedules provided — worked up 12 of Zep's greatest hits for the event.
I am very proud of everyone I worked with and the results.
The Band
Look at the song credits for a full list of names — my friends, players, cancer fighters, cancer survivors, and those like myself who had lost someone very close to them to cancer. We assembled and kicked cancer's ass on that night. We raised peace signs, fists, hope, and many screaming testimonies.
Band for "Rock and Roll":
- Gary Ek "The Soundman From Hell" — MC
- Wayne "Led" Sorbelli — electric ukulele
- Wavy Dave Parkhurst — vocals
- David Bryce Warren — drums
- Tim Marshall Curtis — bass
Opening on Electric Ukulele
No better way to start something like this than to come out of the gate shooting from the hip with my little electric ukulele.
It's the smallest thing I play, but it makes me feel way bigger than I am — so it empowers me on stage. Funny? I guess. But it's the truth. I felt like a giant on stage playing a pretty easy guitar song (that's a joke) on a little ukulele with a guitar pickup installed in it.
It was a way to empower me and set the theme for the night's comings — we were going to kick cancer in the balls on this night like giants. Like the Hammer of the Gods. But in our own Key West kind of quirky, weird little island way.
Why This Show Mattered
Nicky's Celebration exists because of my son Nicky Wayne Sorbelli. Every show we do, every dollar we raise, every peace sign we throw — it's for him, and for every family in Key West fighting the same battle.
The sold-out crowd that night understood that. You could feel it in the room.
Please share the video. Like the channel if you can. Like the video if you liked it. It really helps get the word out about Nicky's Celebration and what we're doing here.
Many thanks. Enjoy.
