The Zappa Band, Featuring Scott Thunes, Announces June Tour
The Zappa Band will be back on the road with a headlining tour in June. The band consists of Frank Zappa band alumni guitarists Mike Keneally and Ray White, multi-instrumentalist Robert Martin and bassist Scott Thunes. They’re joined by drummer Joe Travers and former Zappa Plays Zappa guitarist Jamie Kime.
“Interesting times. Never thought we’d have our own tour. Not because we aren’t awesome but because the idea that the zeitgeist could handle us is overwhelming,” Thunes wrote on Facebook. “I am so proud to be playing music with these fine gentlemen and can’t wait to get on the bus. Thank you to all the fans that make things like this possible.”
After a show at the Whiskey A Go Go in L.A. on June 3rd, the band will be performing eleven concerts across the Northeast throughout the month. They’ll begin in Homer, New York on June 12th and get all the way down to Alexandria, Virginia before coming back north to finish on June 26th in Plymouth, New Hampshire.
