Wayne 'Led' Sorbelli Opens with 'Rock & Roll' on Electric Ukulele — Key West Theater 7/31/21
Opening the Key West Theater Zeppelin tribute show on July 31, 2021 with 'Rock & Roll' on a little electric ukulele — the smallest thing Wayne plays, but the one that makes him feel the biggest on stage.
'Twas a beautiful July 31st evening, 2021 at the Key West Theater.
Me and my very recently assembled Wayne "Led" Sorbelli's Tribute to Led Zeppelin Show band — 12 of the loveliest, hardest working musicians I know, rotating duties as their personal and professional schedules allowed — worked up 12 of Zep's greatest hits for the event. I am very proud of everyone I worked with and the results.
No better way to open a show 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. It empowers me on stage. So I felt like a giant 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 set the theme for the night — we were going to kick it like giants. Like the Hammer of the Gods. (But in our own Key West quirky weird little island way.)
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
