      Audience Member Some of Frank Zappa's last words to Dweezil were: Get out of the Music Business. So, Dweezil listened and put together and orchestra to play his father's music which he still tours internationally with. In doing so, his family had many battles and split in half over the use of Zappa's work and name (Google it). Dweezil loves his Dad's music THAT much that he was willing to not listen to his father just to keep his music alive. He's been put through Hell for it*, and he is undoubtedly one of the nicest guys out there. He shocked the staff at the theatre he played in locally when he folded the theatre's towels and neatly put them away because he needed to use the dryer. And Dweezil isn't just a non-talent living off Dad's name, he can play the heck out the guitar, and he teaches workshops around the country when not in a pandemic. Please go support this sweet talented man because he lives for his Dad's music. *He got locked out of a local venue I know over a wage dispute. I can't imagine being stuck there and not getting paid for it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
