The band consists of four members committed wholly to re-creating the sights and sounds of a Led Zeppelin concert experience for the fans who come out to see them.

 

Sal DeMeo: As drummer for The PreZence, DeMeo expertly channels the raw power and precision of John Bonham, bringing the thunderous beats of Led Zeppelin to life with unmatched authenticity. A Brooklyn native now based in the Hudson Valley, Sal’s decades of experience allow him to pay a loving tribute to Bonzo, capturing the intricate nuances and explosive energy that made Bonham one of rock’s greatest drummers.

 

Tom James Potthast, the bassist and keyboardist for The PreZence, brings a multi-talented musicality to the band, skillfully filling the iconic role of John Paul Jones. Known as the "groove master," Tom’s deep passion for emulating Led Zeppelin’s musical legacy shines through in his intricate basslines, dynamic keyboard work, and rich backup vocals, all delivered with heartfelt precision.

 

Alan Cruz: Filling the role of the legendary Robert Plant is not an easy one. As singer for the Led Zeppelin tribute band The PreZence, Cruz channels the spirit and energy of Robert Plant with remarkable authenticity. Hailing from Woodstock, New York, Alan’s powerful and soulful vocals bring to life the iconic sounds of Led Zeppelin, capturing both the range and intensity that made Plant legendary. His deep passion for the band's music shines through in every performance, as he effortlessly recreates Plant's unique vocal style, giving audiences an experience that’s as close to the original as it gets.

 

Dan Natelli: Guitarist a.k.a. JimmyPage.  Starting out in NYC rock bands, he has toured Europe with a production of Jesus Christ Superstar, performed with Buddy Miles of Jimi Hendrix’s Band of Gypsy’s, worked for many years with Ian Lloyd of the band Stories, whose song Brother Louie was a #1 worldwide hit, and did a tour of the US with the Kings of Christmas, featuring members of the Trans Siberian orchestra. Just as talented as he is versatile, Dan's soaring Guitar sound is unmistakable.
