From a young age he promised his father that he would be a guitarist but I’m not sure that anyone but Frank could believe that he would be as good as he actually is.
Lead vocalist, rhythm guitarist, trumpet and trombone player Ben Thomas sounded exactly like Zappa of old on many of his signature songs like Montana and the show’s opener Zomby Woof, full of ironic and comical animation, enhancing the satirical material in many of the songs.
Zappa is a father of two most importantly now a days but still manages to take the band on tour at least a couple times a year with scattered festival appearances.
