Influences: LED ZEPPELIN, Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, John Bonham, John Paul Jones

Sounds Like: SWAN SONG is the longest-running live Led Zeppelin tribute act in the Southwest. The Dallas-based act brings back all of the original band’s tricks and tools with surprising accuracy. Just close your eyes and you’ll be beamed back in time with the incredible replication of Led Zeppelin’s music.
From the loud guitars and screaming theremin in "Whole Lotta Love" to the bow-playing wizardry of "Dazed And Confused" to the soft-and-sweet acoustics of "That’s The Way," Swan Song brings the legend and the magic alive once again, just for you!
Established in 1999, Swan Song has taken a great deal of pride in looking and sounding as close to Led Zeppelin as possible, while adding a select handful of live-version performances and acoustic renditions to their repertoire. The band is available for booking year 'round at corporate events, private parties, nightclubs, sports bars, restaurants, festivals, and more. Contact us for more info.

GET THE LED OUT AGAINST CHILD ABUSE
Child abuse can be classified as physical, emotional, sexual, or neglect. Staggering statistics suggest child abuse is on the rise. Here are 10 things you can do to prevent child abuse:
1. Volunteer your time. Get involved with other parents in your community. Help vulnerable children and their families. Start a playgroup.
2. Discipline your children thoughtfully. Never discipline your child when you are upset. Give yourself time to calm down. Remember that discipline is a way to teach your child. Use privileges to encourage good behavior and time-outs to help your child regain control.
3. Examine your behavior. Abuse is not just physical. Both words and actions can inflict deep, lasting wounds. Be a nurturing parent. Use your actions to show children and other adults that conflicts can be settled without hitting or yelling.
4. Educate yourself and others. Simple support for children and parents can be the best way to prevent child abuse. After-school activities, parent education classes, mentoring programs, and respite care are some of the many ways to keep children safe from harm. Be a voice in support of these efforts in your community.
5. Teach children their rights. When children are taught they are special and have the right to be safe, they are less likely to think abuse is their fault, and more likely to report an offender.
6. Support prevention programs. Too often, intervention occurs only after abuse is reported. Greater investments are needed in programs that have been proven to stop the abuse before it occurs - such as family counseling and home visits by nurses who provide assistance for newborns and their parents.
7. Know what child abuse is. Physical and sexual abuse clearly constitute maltreatment, but so does neglect, or the failure of parents or other caregivers to provide a child with needed food, clothing, and care. Children can also be emotionally abused when they are rejected, berated, or continuously isolated.
8. Know the signs. Unexplained injuries aren't the only signs of abuse. Depression, fear of a certain adult, difficulty trusting others or making friends, sudden changes in eating or sleeping patterns, inappropriate sexual behavior, poor hygiene, secrecy, and hostility are often signs of family problems and may indicate a child is being neglected or physically, sexually, or emotionally abused.
9. Report abuse. If you witness a child being harmed or see evidence of abuse, make a report to your state's child protective services department or local police. When talking to a child about abuse, listen carefully, assure the child that he or she did the right thing by telling an adult, and affirm that he or she is not responsible for what happened.
10. Invest in kids. Encourage leaders in the community to be supportive of children and families. Ask employers to provide family-friendly work environments. Ask your local and national lawmakers to support legislation to better protect our children and to improve their lives.
Education and a Whole Lotta Love can win the day in the fight against child abuse.
