Zoso -- The Led Zeppelin Tribute Band at the Cox Capitol Theatre

Zoso is a favorite here in Macon. They stop by the Cox Capitol Theater at least once a year and they deliver a great show every time. Fans of Led Zeppelin are amazed at how much their performance looks and feels like a time warp has opened and you are sitting in a performance during Led Zeppelin’s prime. Record collectors and audiophiles are impressed by how spot on the performances are to the original recordings. This time, they are joined by up and coming Macon rock band Homeless Hill. All ages. 7:30 p.m. $16 in advance, $18 day of.

This trio, consisting of a cello, bass and flute, takes on well known chamber pieces as well as various musical influences from all styles of music when they perform with the Macon Symphony Orchestra. The group first made their mark on YouTube with more than 71 million views on their channel. 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $38.50, $18.50 for students and $13.50 for children 12 and under.
