It’s been 40 years since New Orleans-based hard rock outfit Zebra released its debut album on Atlantic Records with a little help from production legend Jack Douglas (John Lennon, Cheap Trick). All three original members of Zebra are still together and will celebrate their gold-certified debut’s big 4-0 and more as part of their downtown Clearwater debut.

Tickets to see Zebra play Clearwater's Bilheimer Capitol Theatre on Saturday, Dec. 16 are still available and start at $39. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
