Dweezil Zappa
"Zappa Plays Zappa," the concert tour featuring performances of the music of Frank Zappa by a band led by his son, guitarist Dweezil Zappa, is coming to the Pageant in St. Louis on Thursday, December 14.
Billed as "the first OFFICIAL presentation of Frank Zappa Music since the Composer himself departed for his final tour in 1993," the ZPZ tour started in Europe this May and is continuing through the fall and early winter with a series of dates across the United States. The core band is comprised of a group of young musicians who were selected through an extensive audition process and then spent months rehearsing a carefully selected group of Zappa's compositions.
In addition, Zappa alumni Steve Vai, Terry Bozzio and Napoleon Murphy Brock have performed on most dates of the tour and, barring unforeseen complications, will be part of the St. Louis show. Ahmet Zappa, Frank Zappa's younger son, has also appeared as a special guest on some of the tour dates. Tickets will go on sale through Ticketmaster on Friday, September 29.
