PERFORMING ARTS CENTER
Dear Patron of the Arts,
Welcome to The Sharon L. Morse Performing Arts Center!
Much like the building’s namesake, my grandmother, Sharon L. Morse, we love all varieties of the performing arts here. It is in her memory that I, along with my amazing team of artists and arts administrators, strive to bring many different types of the highest quality entertainment here to The Sharon.
Since opening in 2015, we have strived to establish your trust, that a show at The Sharon is a show worth seeing. Perhaps you find yourself here today to see a concert of one of your favorite musicians, or to take in the national tour of a Broadway show. Either way, we encourage you to consider trying out a new show that perhaps you haven’t heard of before, knowing that it has been intentionally curated by our team.
We welcome you to The Sharon: a place for you to see an old favorite, but also a place to discover your new favorite. I sincerely hope you enjoy the show today, and I look forward to seeing you here again soon!
See You at The Sharon, Whitney Morse

GET THE LED OUT
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, heartthumping 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 “Hey Hey What Can I Do.”
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 bluessoaked, 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!

Paul Sinclair Lead Vocals, Harmonica
For lead vocalist Paul Sinclair, singing is quite simply in his blood. Adopted at five days old, and without any knowledge of his ancestry, Sinclair naturally gravitated towards music and the arts growing up. It wasn’t until investigating his lineage in his twenties that he discovered he had come from a line of opera singers in Madrid, Spain. Sinclair’s biological grandparents, baritone José García Fernández Olaria and soprano Ana Romero Campos had seven children. Three of which came to prominence in the music world in the 1950s and 60s... Ana Maria Olaria, Amparo de Lerma, and Tito Mora.
A child of the 1970s, Paul developed a profound love and passion for the music of the era. This wonderful soundtrack would go on to mold, shape, and compel him on his musical journey. Whether it be The Beatles and The Stones, Zeppelin and Aerosmith, or The Bee Gees and Donna Summer... these iconic artists ignited a burning desire within Paul that could only be satisfied by screaming from the mountaintops!
In the early 1980s Paul began putting bands together. In late 1984 while searching for a guitarist/writing partner, Sinclair met guitarist Paul Hammond.
The two had an instant bond over their love of the classic rock greats, as well as a similar vision for their future. Sinclair and Hammond immediately began writing songs and searching for a bassist and drummer to round out the band and get giggin’!
With the band in place, Sinclair and Hammond went on to write and record two full-length albums, and perform in countless venues on the east coast U.S.A. under the band name “Sinclair.” “Sinclair”, at one time managed by radio promo legend Joe Reagoso (Warner/ Elektra/Atlantic, MCA, RCA) played many high profile shows and shared the bill with such notable acts as Foghat, Zebra, Savoy Brown, The Bullet Boys, Kevin Dubrow (Quiet Riot), David Ruffin of The Temptations, and many more.
In the fall of 2003 Paul Sinclair was contacted by a couple of local Philadelphia area musicians who were putting together a Led Zeppelin tribute band and in need of a singer. Paul had no interest in doing the “impersonator thing”, but agreed to help the guys with one show. He immediately enlisted the help of Paul Hammond to add the musical chops and stability required to pull it off. The idea of performing “The Mighty Zep’s” catalog in concert just as it’s heard on record was suggested by Sinclair, but not well received. However, with time and some lineup changes, Sinclair’s vision soon became reality and Get The Led Out was born.
Sinclair, a BMI affiliated songwriter, is
also an engineer/producer who along with Hammond owns Fat City Studios just outside of Philadelphia, PA. Paul’s engineering, production, and mastering credits can be found on countless independent and national releases worldwide.
Sinclair’s influences are varied, though there are two musical legends whose impact on him is undeniable. Besides the obvious role that Robert Plant’s work has played in shaping Sinclair’s vocal stylings, there is one other standout influence… Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. So much so that Paul appeared on national television when he was chosen to perform as Tyler on the Dick Clark Production “Your Big Break.”
In the summer of 2014 Paul joined The Zac Brown Band in concert for a version of Zeppelin’s classic “Whole Lotta Love” at the PNC Center in Holmdel, NJ, and at Bethel Woods in Bethel, NY.
In late 2015 Paul was fortunate enough to be asked to lend his Plant-esque vocals to the new Martin ScorseseMick Jagger produced HBO TV series “Vinyl”.
In Get The Led Out Paul has found what he describes as a “dream career”. Keeping this important music alive for future generations is a passion-filled calling for him. Most importantly, Paul Sinclair is a huge Led Zeppelin fan who strives to “do justice” to what he considers to be one of the greatest rock bands of all time.
Paul Hammond
Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Mandolin, Theremin
Paul Hammond’s history in the music business is rather extensive. A professional guitarist, producer, engineer and songwriter, he is also an accomplished electronics technician. Hammond’s life resembles that of some of the greatest technician/musicians of all time: such as - Les Paul, Jimmy Page, and Brian May. From writing a song to performing it, engineering the recording session while producing it, building custom amplifiers and effects pedals to play through on it, as well as rebuilding and maintaining the mixing consoles and tape machines used to record it.... Paul Hammond does it all.
Past Projects: As a result of Hammond’s association with Paul Sinclair and the 90’s music scene in Philadelphia, he ended up doing work for Studio 4 owners Phil and Joe Nicolo, of Ruffhouse/ Sony/Columbia fame. Hammond says “I would show up to do some tech work and they would be working on the most amazing tracks like the Rolling Stones or Aerosmith, and they would show me all the techniques they were using to get that hit quality sound - I love those guys!” As a result of this association Paul
ended up working for Ted Greenberg at the now legendary Big Zone Audio, which was housed in the same Studio 4 complex. Paul would rebuild Ted’s vintage API mixing console, play some guitar, and work with bands and musicians that they were recording at the time. Other past projects include writing and playing guitar tracks on Time Warner and Comcast radio and TV commercials for Chris Zurzolo at D4TV of Philadelphia. One of the commercials Hammond played on was broadcast regionally during the 2006 Super Bowl!
Current Projects: Paul often works at Rob Hyman’s (The Hooters, Cyndi Lauper, Joan Osborne), privately owned and operated Elmstreet studios as an associated engineer/technical consultant. His latest projects include - selecting and customizing a Martin D28 acoustic guitar at the Martin factory in Nazareth PA with JR Warner, Paul Sinclair and head of artist relations Dick Boak, for Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin and flying it to England to deliver it. Having a custom built Martin acoustic guitar made to auction for the charity - ABC Trust UK, Custom building a 6 string electric Les Paul Junior and 8 string octave mandolin double neck with his father E.E. Hammond for Eric Bazilian to play on the 2007 Hooters European tour. Playing guitar and mandolin in Get The Led Out, “The American Led Zeppelin.” Playing guitar for “Sinclair,” and running mastering sessions at Fat City Studios with Paul Sinclair. His work has landed him numerous album
and CD credits on AMG (All Music Guide) and a voting membership with the National Association of Recording Arts and Sciences, or “NARAS”, the organization that hosts the Grammy awards.
Paul Hammond’s influences are many. From Chet Atkins and Franny Beecher to Jimmy Page and Hendrix, he’s been inspired by the masters. In Get The Led Out, Hammond is able to put this background to the test as Zeppelin’s music has such diverse ingredients. Paul says, “One of my favorite bands and influences was always Led Zeppelin, so performing their music live is very satisfying.”
Tommy Zamp
Electric & Acoustic Guitars, Vocals
After moving to New York in 2006, within a few short months Tommy joined NYC rock band Fixer. Soon after, they signed a deal with Riker Hill Records, began touring nationally and had the pleasure of working with the late Bill Aucoin, former manager for Kiss. While touring with Fixer and other hired projects, Tommy has had the opportunity to share the stage with some of todays biggest rock bands like
BIOGRAPHIES
The Beastie Boys, Blondie, Blue Oyster Cult and Theory of a Deadman and even played with members of Candelbox, Fuel and Tantric.
After Fixer, Tommy started his band Circus Life and has been touring across the US and UK. With two Circus Life releases and his debut solo album “You Don’t Know Me” under his belt, Tommy is now ramping up to release a new song each month for 2021. The first 4 songs are available iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music and all other streaming platforms. Since 2015 Tommy has been performing 200+ shows a year in NYC and the tri-state area.
Stay tuned as 2021 unravels itself with big announcements, live shows and more original music.
Eddie Kurek Keyboards, Guitar, Vocals, Percussion
Eddie Kurek is a multi-instrumentalist born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, PA. As a teenager, Eddie immersed himself in music with the help of The Paul Green School of Rock. He very quickly became proficient on drums, guitar, keyboards, and vocals. This enabled him to begin writing, recording, and performing his own
songs. Immediately following high school, Eddie formed the original/ cover band “IV Stone”. He chose the most iconic cover songs from every genre, and created a setlist to please people of all ages. This required him to expand his singing style and range to cover artists from Michael Jackson, to Robert Plant, to Frank Sinatra. After five and a half years of hard work and fierce commitment, Eddie and IV Stone amassed a large fan base and grew their touring schedule to over 100 performances a year. While getting his “on the job” training in the clubs, Eddie continued his formal music training at Kutztown University and received his Bachelor’s degree in Music Performance.
Now in Get The Led Out, Eddie brings his passion for rock and mad multi-skills to the party! When he’s not on the road with GTLO, Eddie continues to write songs and perform with IV Stone.
Derek Smith Drums, Percussion
Derek Smith grew up around Los Angeles, CA and has been working as a professional musician since 2009. A lifelong fan of Led Zeppelin, and in particular, John Bonham’s drumming,
he balanced his session work and original music with recording drum covers of Zeppelin’s studio and live catalog in his garage and posting them on his YouTube channel called, “Kick It Like Bonham.” It was through that YouTube channel that Derek connected with a much larger Zeppelin fan base, and has been fortunate to go on and work with some of the best in the world at paying homage to the emotions that Led Zeppelin evokes. Throughout his career in music, Derek has had the great privilege of working with Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS, Robby Krieger of The Doors, The Doobie Brothers, Billy Idol’s Steve Stevens, legendary bass player Phil Chen, Chris Wyse of the Hollywood Vampires / The Cult, and Eric Bazillian’s saxophone at The Fillmore in Philly. He also performs with Mr. Jimmy / Jimmy Sakurai, guitarist of Jason Bonham’s Led Zeppelin Evening, to reproduce the live catalog of Led Zeppelin in his band, Mr. Jimmy’s Led Zeppelin Revival. Derek is most proud to be performing with Get The Led Out to preserve this glorious music in a live setting as faithfully and energetically as possible. He plays WFLIII drums for GTLO, with a drum kit built by Bill Ludwig and his amazing team to honor the same quality and sound his grandfather built for John Bonham; The Ludwig sound truly remains the same with WFLIII. With each performance, he looks to honor John Bonham, Led Zeppelin, carry on the legendary contributions of previous GTLO drummer, Adam Ferraioli, and make his band mates and
loved ones proud.
He still likes recording drum covers of Led Zeppelin songs in his garage…
Seth Chrisman Bass, Vocals
Seth Chrisman is a bassist and multiinstrumentalist from Knoxville, TN. At the age of 16, Seth began to learn to play the bass after discovering the Canadian rock band Rush. Not long after this, Seth saw Get The Led Out for the first time in 2016. It was after seeing GTLO that Seth knew he had found his true calling. He knew then that he wanted to dedicate the rest of his life to not only being a musician and bassist, but to the preservation and proclamation of rock ‘n’ roll music and its rich history.
Seth’s professional career as a bassist began at 20 years of age with blues-rock band Stone Broke Saints. One standout gig while in this band was opening for Whiskey Myers at The Shed at Smokey Mountain Harley Davidson in 2019. During his time with Stone Broke Saints, Seth and the band went on to play many club dates and a number of radio show appearances. This was all while he was a student of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville studying musicology and jazz.
BIOGRAPHIES
After withdrawing from UTK during the Covid-19 pandemic to pursue other avenues in his music career, Seth joined southern-rock band, The Dirty Gospel. Their debut album, “Higher Ground” received some airplay locally and internationally. As a result, they were given the opportunity to open for such bands as the Steel Woods, Kentucky Headhunters, and Quiet Riot.
In 2023 Seth moved to Nashville for a brief time to find more work as a bassist shortly before becoming involved with GTLO. Outside of the band, Seth studies music, writes his own, and plays occasionally in other side projects.
