Dweezil Zappa plies the family trade at the Bardavon on Saturday, February 22 at 8 p.m. Like his father before him, Dweezil’s bands are always populated by young players of outrageous skill. As a rule the younger Zappa favors Frank’s fusion- and guitar-heavy output of the early-to-mid-‘70s over both his early conceptual prog/rock or the commentary-rock of Joe’s Garage and beyond. At the Bardavon, Zappa Plays Zappa will recreate Frank’s classic 1974 live album Roxy and Elsewhere.
