Guitarist Dweezil Zappa leads a group of top flight musicians in this concert experience that celebrates the music of the late Frank Zappa. Much more than a tribute band, Zappa Plays Zappa underscores the compositional genius of Frank Zappa and all of his musical subtleties.

Background:
Dweezil Zappa - Guitar
Dweezil Zappa was born on September 5, 1969 in Los Angeles—the son of Frank and Gail Zappa. It was inevitable that from the moment of his birth his life would be filled wall-to wall with music (his father having listed his religion as “musician” on Dweezil’s birth certificate). Dweezil’s early years were spent largely away from the spotlight—something of a rarity for the child of a celebrity, but perfect for cultivating a close relationship with his family.
 
Having watched his father perform concerts from the side of the stage since he was in diapers it was no surprise that he began to show an interest in music early on. At 6 years old he received his first guitar, a Fender Music Master from his dad.  It wasn't until he was 12 that he began to show a serious interest in manipulating the instrument to make music.
