Led Zepagain (stylized Led ZepAgain) is an American hard rock tribute band formed in Ventura, California in 1988. The current band consists of vocalist/harmonica player Swan Montgomery ("Robert Plant"), lead electric guitarist and theremin player Jimmy Sakurai ("Jimmy Page"), bassist/keyboardist/mandolinist Jim Wootten ("John Paul Jones") and drummer/percussionist Derek Smith ("John Bonham").

Recently featured on AXS TV's "World's Greatest Tribute Bands" Led Zepagain has become highly regarded as the most authentic representation of Led Zeppelin in the world today.

In January 2004, Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page attended a Led Zepagain show at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. He was absolutely astonished at the band's accuracy, stating “It’s amazing how much you sound like us. You must have grown up on this because you were inside the music, and you paid attention to detail in your presentation…I can tell you guys really love the music!”

This encounter led to the members of Led Zepagain attending Led Zeppelin's 2007 Reunion Concert at London's O2 Arena, and a surprise visit from Jason Bonham in March 2009 as he sat in with the band on their encore performance of the song "Rock and Roll".^[1]

Having played nationally and internationally in such places as Japan, Ireland, Alaska, Germany, Bosnia, Peru, Canada, Kosovo, Mexico City and Guam, Led Zepagain regularly performs to packed houses all over the world.

In September 2015 The LED ZEPAGAIN Official Fan Club page was created for the band on Facebook by President Sherry Anderson and Vice President Laurie Friday. At present, there are over 3600 members from all over the world. Several Led Zepagain shows are currently streamed live through the page.
