Zebra es una banda estadounidense de hard rock formada en 1975 en la ciudad de Nueva Orleans. Sus componentes son Randy Jackson (guitarrista y vocalista), Felix Hanemann (bajista, vocalista y teclista) y Guy Gelso (batería y vocalista). Su debut en el mercado general con la discográfica Atlantic Records sucedió en 1983 y fue abanderado por los sencillos "Tell Me What You Want" y "Who's Behind The Door". Al igual que Twisted Sister, Zebra creció como grupo en los locales de la costa este de Estados Unidos, frecuentemente en Long Island (Nueva York).

Zebra comenzó tocando versiones de canciones de Led Zeppelin, The Moody Blues y Rush, la reacción de sus primeros fans frente a los temas de Led Zeppelin convenció al grupo para que se trasladara con sus actuaciones a Nueva York.

Años antes de firmar con Atlantic Records ya habían presentado sus canciones propias junto con las versiones de los otros grupos. Entre ellas se encontraban "The La La Song", "Free" y "Bears" (titulada originalmente "The Bears are Hibernating").

Algunas de las primeras actuaciones de Zebra fueron grabadas por la cadena de radio WBAB, de Long Island, lo que llegó hasta la inclusión de una de sus canciones en el álbum WBAB's Homegrown Album, que conmemoraba algunas de las mejores actuaciones en directo en la emisora durante su programa "Homegrown Hour".

Zebra continuó realizando giras durante los años ochenta y noventa. No editaron nada completamente nuevo desde 1986 hasta 2003, año en que publicaron Zebra IV. Asimismo, en verano de 2007 se puso a la venta un DVD de actuaciones en vivo recientes, principalmente de un espectáculo en la House of Blues en Nueva Orleans.

En 2009, el grupo Dream Theater versionó el tema de Zebra "Take your fingers from my hair" en su álbum Black Clouds & Silver Linings.

Zebra is a Hard rock band founded in 1975 in New Orleans, Louisiana. It
features Randy Jackson (guitar and vocals), Felix Hanemann (bass,
keyboards and vocals) and Guy Gelso (drums and vocals). Their mainstream
debut on Atlantic Records was in 1983 with their eponymous album,
highlighted by the singles "Tell Me What You Want" and "Who's Behind The
Door". Zebra got their start on the US East Coast club circuit,
frequently playing at clubs on Long Island, NY.

Zebra started their career by playing covers of Led Zeppelin, The Moody Blues and Rush
songs; it was their early fans' reaction to their Led Zeppelin
renditions that helped convince the band to bring their act to New York.
They had introduced their original material into their cover sets years
before they were signed to Atlantic Records, including "The La La
Song", "Free" and "Bears" (originally entitled "The Bears are
Hibernating").

Zebra had been noticed by local colleges and even had some of their early original performances recorded by Long Island FM
radio station WBAB, culminating in the inclusion of one of their songs
on a release of "WBAB Homegrown Album", which commemorated some of the
station's best local acts and performances culled from their on-air
"Homegrown Hour" program.

The band continued to tour throughout the 1980s but put a temporary hold in the early 1990s after being
dropped by Atlantic Records. Randy Jackson formed his solo band, Randy
Jackson's China Rain, and released its only album in the year 1993.
Zebra finally reunited in 1997 and released Zebra IV in 2003, their
first album of all-new material since 1986. A DVD of recent live
performances, mostly from a show at the House of Blues in New Orleans,
was released in the summer of 2007.

On July 10, 2010, during their 35th-anniversary performance at New Orleans' Mahalia Jackson
Theater, Zebra was inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame.

On October 8, 2012, Zebra was inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame

March 25 to March 31, 2013, Zebra performed on, Cruise To The Edge…more than a
