Get ready for some Zappa! What’s the best description of the Zappa experience? Perhaps this way: an eclectic, never-conforming maelstrom of psychedelic jazz, funky R&B rhythms, ludicrous lyrics, and masterfully virtuosic musicality.
Whether you’re a long time fan thirsty to dive into the brilliant blue or you’re just sticking your toes into the churning waters for the first time, experience the freakishly twisty, genius energy for yourself.
ABOUT THE BAND:
This tour was put in motion after Banned from Utopia (BFU) and the Paul Green Rock Academy (PGRA) struck up a friendship while playing at the 2023 Zappanale festival. It’s all about a sharing the love for incredible music with audiences both new and old. The BFU Zappa alums include Scott Thunes (Frank’s longest-tenured bassist), Robert Martin (played keys, sax, and vocals on many of Frank’s albums), and Ray White (co-led vocals on many of Frank’s tours and albums). The band is rounded out with Jamie Kime, Robbie Seahag Mangano, and Joel Taylor. PGRA is the latest audition-only music school from School of Rock founder and Zappa fanatic Paul Green and features a new generation of amazing musicians.
