Black Dog -The Spirit of Led Zeppelin captures Led Zep’s early years in a show that brings to life the essence of Led Zeppelin. From the first crushing riff of “Whole Lotta Love” to the final echos of “Kashmir” and “Stairway to Heaven”, Black Dog delivers an authentic experience with the chemistry and respect the music deserves: raw, electric, and alive.
“If Zeppelin defines the soundtrack of your youth, this is your chance to feel it all again” explains bassist Frank Larouche. “Close your eyes, you will swear you’re back in 1973”.
With over 250 concerts to their credit and an unwavering commitment to authenticity, this powerhouse quartet channels the raw energy, soaring vocals, and legendary musicianship that made Led Zeppelin unforgettable.

“Crisprr performed at Neighbours Pub and it was a hit! They were very professional, from the set up to the performance. We are not the biggest pub but they were able to accommodate our size, and maximize space for the guests allowing for dancing inside and on the patio! We will definitely be inviting them back to the pub to preform!” Rahul Virk, Neighbours Pub
“Crisprr is a collection of seasoned musicians that have come together to create a lively band. Crisprr is poised to make a mark on the local music scene with their professionalism, approachability and selection of dance-able music. Wanna have some fun?” Barry Milner, IPS

She performed with the UBC Med School choir for 2 years and was a founding member of the Family of Friends Singers, a vocal quartet with piano accompaniment. Deepa has performed at Parks Alive with the Rusty Nails, Marnie and John and at Our Coffee House.

Kyle, who is blessed with an amazing singing voice and a good ear, was born of a musical and theatrical family. He started young, singing in youth choirs and preforming in musical theatre. As he grew older, other passions for nature and the outdoors distracted him from his musical roots. Along the way though, he maintained his connection and love for song and he is now thrilled to be surrounded by talented musicians in CRISPRR who bring out his natural talent for guitar, his love to create, play, and share music with anyone and everyone.
