Dweezil Zappa at Moore Theatre

The music of legendary Frank Zappa is alive, all thanks to his equally talented son, Dweezil! The guitar prodigy who stepped in his father’s footsteps will pay homage to some of his most notable work this 2024. Experience Zappa’s groundbreaking 1974 albums Roxy & Elsewhere and Apostrophe – both highly acclaimed efforts made waves on the U.S. charts. In addition, Apostrophe peaked at number 10, becoming Zappa’s highest charting effort of his career. The album also notably sold over 500,000 copies in the U.S., earning gold status.

Apostrophe spawned several notable singles, including “Don’t Eat the Yellow Snow.” The single was the first Frank Zappa single to enter the Billboard Hot 100. The album proceeded to become Zappa’s most commercially successful studio work. Meanwhile, six months after the release of Apostrophe, Zappa dropped his follow-up album, Roxy & Elsewhere. The double live effort is a collaboration between Frank Zappa and his band, The Mothers of Invention. The effort was recorded in 1973 at the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles and the Edinboro State College, hence the title “Roxy & Elsewhere.” The effort features highly acclaimed live performances of “Penguin in Bondage,” “Dummy Up,” “Village of the Sum,” and “Cheepnis,” among others.

See, Dweezil Zappa brings this amazing work to life by performing a plethora of tracks from the two remarkable albums. Dweezil has been paying homage to his father's work since 2006. The prolific act Zappa Plays Zappa, has been a highly coveted show across the world. During this gig, Dweezil explores the trailblazing catalog of his father’s efforts, as well as crowd favorites from The Mothers of Invention.

While Dweezil performs the music of his father, he has also proven his amazing musical prowess. The accomplished guitarist has released a slew of his own solo works. However, this summer, Dweezil will provide fans with amazing tracks from Apostrophe and Roxy & Elsewhere to celebrate their 50th anniversary. This is your opportunity to enjoy these thrilling albums performed live as Dweezil takes over the Moore Theatre on Thursday, 8th August 2024.
