Zeppelin Productions

Welcome to the official Facebook home of Columbus Ohio’s Zeppelin Productions, Inc.! Zeppelin Productions, Inc. (By the way, those aren’t mutually exclusive.)

Founded in 1995, Zeppelin Productions strives to present only the best singer-songwriters (and nice people), in an intimate setting, to the Music Fans of Columbus. was founded in 1995 by Alec Wightman, a Columbus, Ohio corporate attorney with a passion for music. As Alec, who also happens to be a member of the Board of The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, puts it, “I rent a hall, hire a sound man, brin

g in the artistes, sell tickets off an e-mail list, try not to lose too much money and have more fun than any human being should be allowed to have.”

Alec got talked into doing his first show by Tom Russell, who he has consistently introduced as “the finest singer-songwriter working in America.” Since that debut in March, 1995, Zeppelin Productions has brought artistes to Columbus which satisfy two criteria—great music (which means Alec loves it) and nice people. Most of the artistes have made it to the Zeppelin stage as a result of referrals from those who have been there before, and many have described it as “the best gig in the industry.”

But, the real secret to Zeppelin’s success is the Music Fans—an e-mail list of close to 1,000 folks, many of whom have supported these shows from the beginning. It’s an eclectic group, from doctors and lawyers to music lovers who haven’t left the late ‘60s. Please e-mail Alec at [email protected] to get on the list. And, if you haven’t been to a Zeppelin show, join us—the best kept musical secret in Columbus.

The All Music Guide says, "The Rubinoos are widely regarded as one of the best and smartest acts to come from the 1970's pop scene," writing and performing songs that "affectionately honor the mix of irresistible melodies and spunky guitars." Here's a cut from 2019"s "From Home," which the Guide says shows "the band never lost the magic of their first era": https://youtu.be/VdkO7TEjRIo?si=qs2hqKkEI9ZhCai9

A number of people on the Zeppelin Productions e-mail list told me they didn’t get last week’s missive announcing five new shows. Apparently, there was some kind of internet outage that kept certain e-mail platforms from communicating with each other, including my antiquated AOL. So, I thought I’d do a Facebook post to minimize the chance any Music Fans aren’t in the know. At least a couple of these should sell out quickly.
