For the generation of devoted fans of Frank Zappa who still sense an emptiness in their musical lives 13 years after his untimely passing, last year's Zappa Plays Zappa tour was a wondrous gift.

"What we're preparing to do for this tour is perhaps even more complex than what we did on the first tour," says Dweezil. "Last year we learned about 40 songs from a very popular period of Frank's career and this year we will be learning about 30 more new ones that are somewhat more obscure. We're even tackling some of Frank's classical works.” The goal, Dweezil adds, is to develop a new fan base as well as play songs that are favorites of longtime fans.
"If you're a young music listener and all you've ever heard has come from modern popular radio, I would urge you to step outside that tiny bubble and see what you've been missing," says Dweezil. "I think it is very important at this time in the world of music for people to expand their view of what is possible. I think my Dad's music deserves to be heard by a wider audience. I really think he's been misunderstood for far too long, which brings me back to why I'm doing this: I'm so in awe of his accomplishments and want more and more people to know about him, and I think the best way for people to first discover his music is on a visceral level in a live situation.”
“I think you have to be confronted with the complexity and the beautiful subtlety of all of it to fully appreciate the artistry of it."
Don’t miss Zappa Plays Zappa on Friday, November 23rd at Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium.
