Banned From Utopia with the Paul Green Rock Academy stop at the Sweetwater Sound on Saturday, July 13, to present the We (Love) Zappa Tour. 

The show is a celebration of the music and life of the eclectic, never-conforming maelstrom of psychedelic jazz, funky R&B rhythms, ludicrous lyrics, and masterfully virtuosic musicality Frank Zappa. Featuring alumni of the Zappa’s band, the show is all about sharing the love for his incredible music. 

The Banned From Utopia include long-tenured Zappa bassist Scott Thunes; Robert Martin, who was responsible for keys, sax, and vocals on many of Zappa’s albums; and Zappa co-lead vocalist Ray White. Members of Paul Green Rock Academy, featuring School of Rock founder and Zappa fanatic Paul Green, round out the band. 

Whether you are a longtime fan or new to Zappa’s compositions, this will be a unique and memorable experience.
