CELEBRATING 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF FRANK ZAPPA’S “ROXY & ELSEWHERE” AND “APOSTROPHE”
2025 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR COMES TO BUFFALO ON APRIL 29, 2025
BUFFALO, NY – Renowned guitarist Dweezil Zappa has extended his successful Rox(Postroph)y Tour, adding new concert dates in 2025. The tour extends the 50th Anniversary celebration of two of his father Frank Zappa’s landmark albums, “Roxy & Elsewhere” and “Apostrophe.” Dweezil has curated a setlist highlighting fan-favorite tracks from each record; replete with unique hybrid arrangements. “The songs you think you know, may just end up surprising you with parts you’ve never heard before” says Dweezil.
The aptly named “Rox-Postrophy” Tour returns to North America in 2025, with shows in major cities across the US and Canada in January and April. Dweezil Zappa, who is known for his masterful performances and deep connection to his father’s music, returns for the first time since 2020; whipping fan-favorite songs to creamy peaks and guiding fans through the thrilling and sophisticated world of his father’s music with his ‘rocking teen-age combo.’ With over two hours of music spanning Frank Zappa’s illustrious career, including a surprise performance from Dweezil with an historic instrument in hand; each show promises to be an unforgettable experience.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been on stage playing the music I love. I’m inspired to try new things and looking forward to playing with the best musicians I know.” says Dweezil Zappa, “I’ll be bringing a hot setlist of Frank Zappa classics and personal favorites to all of the fans.” He adds, “If you have never heard my father’s music, this might be the tour to start your obsession.” – Dweezil Zappa, Lead Guitar
“Because we’ve added more shows, I now have the opportunity to perform a world premiere of a rare song my dad wrote during the Grand Wazoo era. It has never been heard by any audience.”
This truly is the “Return of the Son of..” and Dweezil and his band are uniquely qualified to bring his father’s music to life..
