In partnership with The Animal Pad and Papaya Pet Care, TrustedHousesitters is hosting an adoption event for one of the Animal Pad’s most recent rescues, Holly and her twelve puppies, from Tijuana, Mexico. Not only has TrustedHousesitters been covering the pups’ medical expenses, but they are also donating $100 per pup to The Animal Pad, matching Holly’s adoption fee and each pup adopted will receive a one-year membership to TrustedHousesitters. Papaya Pet Care will also be donating $50 per pup to The Animal Pad and each pup will receive a one-year Papaya Plus Plan membership to ensure they have their health taken care of! The adoption event will also include a live performance from the upcoming theater play Pup! A Chew Story, which speaks to the power of friendship between a shelter dog and his chew toy as they search for their own forever home. It is called THE GREAT HOMECOMING, an experience that will bring theater, education and animal welfare together in a most innovative way, with a large percentage of the proceeds going directly to the rescues! We hope to see you at this paw-some event! Follow us on social media! Facebook + Instagram

From the bombastic and epic, to the folky and mystical, Get The Led Out (GTLO) have captured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin and brought it to the concert stage. The Philadelphia-based group consists of six veteran musicians intent on delivering Led Zeppelin live, like you’ve never heard before. Utilizing the multi-instrumentalists at their disposal, GTLO re-create the songs in all their depth and glory with the studio overdubs that Zeppelin themselves never performed. When you hear three guitars on the album…GTLO delivers three guitarists on stage. No wigs or fake English accents, GTLO brings what the audience wants…a high energy Zeppelin concert with an honest, heart-thumping intensity. Dubbed by the media as “The American Led Zeppelin,” Get The Led Out offers a strong focus on the early years. They also touch on the deeper cuts that were seldom, if ever heard in concert. GTLO also include a special “acoustic set” with Zep favorites such as “Tangerine” and the “Battle of Evermore” being performed in its’ original instrumentation with guest singer Diana DeSantis joining the band. GTLO has amassed a strong national touring history, having performed at major club and PAC venues across the country. GTLO’s approach to their performance of this hallowed catalog is not unlike a classical performance. “Led Zeppelin are sort of the classical composers of the rock era,” says lead vocalist Paul Sinclair. “I believe 100 years from now they will be looked at as the Bach or Beethoven of our time. As cliché as it sounds, their music is timeless.” A GTLO concert mimics the “light and shade” that are the embodiment of “The Mighty Zep.” Whether it’s the passion and fury with which they deliver the blues-soaked, groove-driven rock anthems, it’s their attention to detail and nuance that makes a Get The Led Out performance a truly awe-inspiring event!
