Jason Bonham has certainly been busy lately touring with Sammy Hagar (currently), his own Led Zeppelin Experience, and with Heart. Rumor has it he is apparently going to be the drummer on the new Phil Collins album.
Jason with Sammy Hagar performing Led Zeppelin's "Rock and Roll"
I enjoyed Jason Bonham working with Glenn Hughes in their last band Black Country Communion..
Here is "I Can See Your Spirit"
I thought these bands would steer Jason a bit out of his Father's shadow. Being in a band that isn't a Zeppelin cover band or a band with a similar sound. Jason is a heck of a drummer but being the son of John is a blessing and a curse I would imagine.
Anyway I was looking forward to catching California Breed live somewhere down the road..
Here they pay tribute to Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin...(Mr. Hughes was in Deep Purple)
Oh well. I enjoyed Jason in a rock trio setting while it lasted..
I wish him luck in whatever he pursues. I mean I have been following him since the 80's. Catching him live in 1988 with Jimmy Page and again in 2012 with Black Country Communion.
You might not have heard about California Breed. They are a brand new power trio in the rock world. Collectively the group can be linked to Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, and Black Country Communion. I'm ready to hear their debut being released in the United States on May 20, 2014. I mean I haven't been this excited for a new band's debut since Black Country Communion's first release.California Breed consists of Jason Bonham, Glenn Hughes and Andrew Watt.
The beginning:
Jason Bonham and Glenn Hughes made up the rhythm section of the supergroup Black Country Communion. Mr. Hughes adding his legendary vocals with his energetic stage presence easily could be considered a frontman in the band.
BCC had more ingredients including blues guitar maestro Joe Bonamassa and keyboard master Derek Sherinian.
Then they split up and out of the ashes came California Breed. Though in honesty, BCC didn't go down in flames. Probably the reason falls more on logistics and conflicting music projects.
Older Past:
Glenn Hughes first made his mark in the music world with bands like Finders Keepers and Trapeze. His status took a legendary leap as a member of Deep Purple. A successful run with Black Country Communion brought Glenn Hughes into the now. Now California Breed is set to put him into the future..
Jason Bonham has the bloodline being Led Zeppelin's John Bonham. He has cut his teeth on rock and roll. He has recorded with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page. The first time I saw him play live was in 1988 with Jimmy Page on The Outrider Tour...
He played in his own band and Bonham in the 80's. Did some Zeppelin tribute tours. He played as a member in Led Zeppelin in a couple of one off reunions including The Celebration Concert at the O2.
He even honored Led Zeppelin with Heart at The Kennedy Center..
The New
Andrew Watt at 23 represents a new generation of guitar heros playing with the established Hughes and Bonham.
