IN HONOR OF FRANK ZAPPA’S 70TH BIRTHDAY ON DECEMBER 21


Hammersmith Odeon

Early in 1978 Frank Zappa played London’s Hammersmith Odeon and these concerts provided the source

produced by Gail Zappa and Joe Travers is now available in the Special Party Pack 3-CD set
designed to celebrate FZ’s

Dweezil Zappa: Musical Bootcamp

February 18th, 2010 | No Comments

Dweezil Zappa Musical Bootcamp Coming in June

Dweezil Zappa

Dweezilla is a four-day, five-night music bootcamp where musicians will be surrounded by Dweezil Zappa and members of his core band for a musical bootcamp designed to expand the harmonic horizons of both amateur and professional musicians.

This musical exploration and development camp will occur in the heart of the “Forever Wild” Catskill Forest Preserve in Big Indian, New York at the Full Moon Resort from Sunday, June 20 to Friday, June 25 2010.

The event will include gourmet meals provided by Full Moon Resort with master classes from Dweezil Zappa, Joe Travers, Pete Griffin, Scheila Gonzales, Jamie Klime and Billy Hulting. Private performances, intimate jam sessions, campfires, film screenings, and the study of Frank Zappa’s brilliant approach to music, his career, and legacy.

“I decided to create a diverse music boot camp for people of all skill levels hoping to increase their musical prowess,” explains Dweezil Zappa. “It would make me very happy if I could help a fellow musician take their skills to the next level.”

Accommodations, as well as campsites, are available at the Full Moon Resort and the nearby Alpine Inn. All Dweezilla activities will be held on-site at Full Moon Resort. Acres of fields, meadows, forests and streams provide a natural backdrop for a wonderful and memorable experience.
