Westbury Music Fair
80's rock had quite a few players in the game. Zebra was one of those players! The band is back with a 50th anniversary tour, playing all of their hits. One of the stops is at an iconic venue like the Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair on Saturday, May 17th. They'll be stepping into the circled stage, ready to rock out like it's 1983 all over again when they struck gold with their debut album.
All three of the band's original members, vocalist Randy Jackson, bassist Felix Hanemann, and drummer Guy Gelso, are still together. That's certainly rare; not even "happy" marriages make it 50+ years! To be fair, these guys took a long break. In any case, this show might be one of the best rock concerts that will make their way to Westbury, New York, this season. Hit that get tickets button and get your stripes on for a chance to see Zebra the Band live!
Louisiana, in general, and New Orleans, in specific, have always been known as a hotbed for jazz and blues. Some of the most influential performers in those genres came out of the bayou. In the 80s, though, rock and roll took over the world. Even New Orleans had rock fever. Zebra came up in that world and were able to reach incredible heights! Their debut album, Zebra, peaked at number 29 in 1983, with "Who's Behind the Door" becoming their flagship single. Since then, the trio has been rocking out, producing new music with that New Orleans style of hard rock that you can't find from many performers. That was true in the 80s, and it's still relevant today!
This unique sound is what has allowed Zebra to develop a cult following. It's the band's 50th anniversary tour, so if you're a fan from the early 80s, you need to head out to the Westbury Music Fair. There really isn't much up for discussion at this point! You see, on this tour, they'll be playing some local spots around Louisiana, and they're even getting a chance to hit up The House of Blues in Houston. There's no question that these performances, at mostly smaller venues, can help them connect with the crowd, and they're likely going to be great. Howeverrrr, if you really want to catch them in their full glory, it's this night in the circled stage where you'll see the best that Zebra has to offer!
The Flagstar at Westbury Music Fair allows performers to be up close to the audience, but it also rewards those who want to be creative! Zebra is going to have to adjust their performance to fit this screen! You also have to make sure that you find the right spot inside the theater to have the best view of the show. The entire orchestra section is going to be open for this event. Make sure to pick a spot where you believe that the band won't be giving their back to you for most of the show. Click the get tickets button today and may the odds be ever in your favor!
